Wow, they do look nice! Autometer seems to be doing something right. They offer a lot for that price, uncluding a remote control. Which is funny, who would of ever thought you would need a remote control for your gauges, lol .

I am also not a fan of the whole chrome ring around the guages, hopefully they will offer them with a black ring.

Did I read that email correct? $200 for a gauge and another $200 for the sensor unit and remote (required). $400 for a boost gauge setup is pretty steep.

Those are pretty nice looking gauges, but I still think defi's are a bit nicer.

thanks for the comment on the avitar!! hehehehe!!

i still think that autometer is one of the premier gauge makers. if you dont think so, just look at how many race car teams use autometer. look at how many people on the street use the 5" tach with shift light. yes they are behind the times in stepped motor technology as far as their gauges go, but they have always been good to me in my mustang. even when i had a gauge go bad, i called and she said to send it back, and it will be twelve dollars to send a new one. i had the gauge for over a year and she still warrantied it. i have the 2-5/8" liquid filled gauges in my mustang and the oil temp went south. she could have said - sorry it has been over a year and is out of warranty. i still like autometer even though they are on the least expensive side, they work excellent.

why get that if you could get Greddy or HKS that functions and look much better at about the same price?

Looks great but bit too late for Autometer I'd say.
