I went with Defi. Nothing wrong with Stewart Warner or VDO, but after going through plenty of gauges in previous cars I knew there was value in peak warning functions as well as replay/recording.

Again, boils down to your budget and your need for additional features. Some people think peak/warn and recording are bells and whistles, but I consider them essential.

Did it myself... and with alot of help from this web board. Do some searching around on this board, and you'll find all the answers you need to install pretty much any guage for your car. Otherwise, i'd find a local tuner shop to have them install it for you man...

ones more accurate and to me...more value for the money...are Stack and Saga Gauges. Stack is very pricey. Saga is more accurate than Defi and requires NO control box. I think they look just as good as the Defis too. Just my opinion.
