Default I'm gonna be ordering some gauges soon...

This is basically just a thread to let people know of the company I'm going with, in case no one has heard of them before.

I'm planning on getting a wideband, oil pressure, and voltmeter, and considering I have plans for boost in the NEAR future, I may as well get a vac/boost gauge.

If anyone is looking for gauges, I found a really good company that sells direct from the manufacturer, at heavily discounted, no-middleman pricing.

It's called GlowShift. I'm going to be going with the tinted 7 color series gauges because they are almost solid black when off, but highly visible when on.

I had a half hour conversation with an employee there earlier, and she said they've been in business for 7 years, and have been on Truck U, on tv.

They have tons of videos on YouTube. I really like the look of thee gauges and the 7 color changing led deal, thingy.

I will, my buddy NEEDS to get a trans temp gauge, and we will be putting that in when he comes back from Florida, so I will definitely let you know my opinion on them. And whether or not I want them for myself...

My main thing is, I priced out the same gauges from AutoMeter, and the GlowShift were 250 dollars cheaper...

That's 250 dollars I can use elsewhere... ya know?

Maybe read the first post! :-P

Autometer prices
Wideband - 350
Voltmeter - 130
Oil pressure - 50
Boost - 55

Glowshift prices
Wideband - 200
Voltmeter - 45
Boost - 40
Oil pressure - 55

those are rough prices I tried to remember without looking them up

I don't think I like that.

It would be nice, but I only have 4 more things I need to monitor, really.
