after wanting these gauges for so long i decided to just drop the cash and buy them. I absolutely love them so far, and they match the stock gauges perfectly. although it does appear that I have a bulb out, but that's an easy fix. I'll have to get some daylight pictures tomorrow, but for now:

 

ooo HKS...

Nice.

 

indeed. i've spent a lot of time hunting ebay auctions for these....and spent a bit more than i'd like to admit, but it's worth it to me.

 

perfectly clustered together man nice install from what I can tell

 

thanks. I've tried about 8 different paints trying to get the gauge pod to match the dash, but no luck yet. this is as close as i've gotten, but i'm still not happy with it. but as promised:





After driving last night, not only does the boost gauge have a blown bulb, but it's out of calibration reading about 4psi when the car is off. time to call HKS!

edit* I should also not that the gauge pod is not permanently installed yet so it looks a bit wacky.

 

the older HKS gauges match our cars the best.

Alot better option than cheapo gauges.

 

where did you get the gauge pod?

 

i was just about to say. them gauges stock? lol they match so well.

 

+1
any markings on who might have made it? maybe someone to recreate it?

 

i'm trying to remember the site i got it from...give me a bit, and i'll get back to you guys on that one.

there are a few carbon fiber ones on ebay right now, but it's not the same place I got mine (which is just fiberglass).

 

You sir have class and flavor!

Nice find! Looks superb!

 

Those HKS gauges look like they were almost made for s4's. What gauge is on the left, voltmeter?

 

water temp.

 

so any updates on who makes that gauge pod? sorry old thread revival...

 

no, i can't for the life of me find the company's web site again.

 

oop...you guys are lucky i never delete emails...

how was the fitment with that pod? ive been looking at that for a while and cant decide. i had the center bezel made by them and it wasnt too great.

 

it's ok. it doesn't fit perfectly, but nothing fiberglass ever will. it's large enough that you can bend it into shape without having to trim anything. I have no complaints except they were suppose to cut it out for the 60mm gauges and it was uncut when I got it.

 

Am i blind? i cant find that piece anywhere. its so clean i want to buy it now even though i have no money.

 

7th down, left side.

If you could take a pic of the gauge pod from the top that would be awesome.

Love the setup!

 

I'll try and remeber to get more pics. the car is currently at my friend's house getting the enging rebuilt.

I should also state that mine is fiberglass and was a LOT cheaper than the CF one listed on the site. I think I paid $80 with shipping.

 

yup, more towards S4's cuz the instrument cluster has more of a darker orange compared to the S5's. =P can't beat the orange and black faced gauges though! looks good! so jealous!

 

thanks guys...it's the second step for things to come...first was a TIG welder...
