They did a little promo in the group buy section a few months ago. I emailed them after and asked what was going on with it and they offered a discount. I'd give them a call or email them and tell them.

I just ordered a fuel pressure gauge from them. It was the only reasonably priced non-autometer gauge I could find that looked ok. I expect that it will be ok. I got the non-peak one as I don't need peak for fuel pressure.

They look just like the factory gauge lights...if you wire them up right. I've got mine where their White in the daytime, and when i switch on my running/headlights, they turn amber just like the interior.

I have a set but not installed. Couldn't find their old thread, so no discount when I ordered. I like them and don't like them. I love that they come with mounting cups. Don't like that the bezel is grey. Don't like how much they would stick out if mounted in radio DIN panel or maybe a quad-pod. Don't like how the boost gauge is several peices instead of one. I am assuming the link wires are so you only have to run one power and ground but you still have to wire each gauge for it's purpose. I like the peak/warning light. I have not installed, so I can't comment on how viewable they are.

I also have Glow Gauges and have not mounted those either. They are very flush, thin black bezel. Only drawback is no warning/peak lights. I may end up installing the Prosport in my truck even though I don't need them.

Did you guys get the 7color that light up all the time or the one that only lights at night? I got the one that only lights up at night and i'm not sure how readable it would be in bright sunlight becuase it still seems tinted and the lettering isn't as bright a white or thick as OEM.

If you are looking for an inexpensive gauge, with good quality, check out VDO. With orange bulb covers, the lighting will match stock exactly. $30 for a boost gauge

glowshift.com has some good gauges, and there pillars are cheap and good quality, fits perfect, bought a tri-pod for 30 bux, fits identical w/ the a-pillar and is totally invisible.
