Autometer Nexus Guages

Has anybody used these yet? They have been around for some time and I wanted to know how the colour matched up with the stock guages.

Cool, I'm glad somebody finally bought them. I like the colour options, sounds cheesey but if you want to go through the hassle of changing the dash colours, your not stuck with a white or orange dash. Please don't forget to post pics. I'm thinking of getting these guages in the very near future.

Actually, it's not. He's trying to find out if they match the 3rd gen. dash color.

They're really nice gauges. I got the Boost/Vacuum, Water Temperature, and Oil Temperature gauges with the sensor module for $180 each, and am very glad I bought them.

Any pics of them in the car? Does one of the color choices match the factory dash color?

Yeah i really want them, hopefully they match the colour. Can't stand the mismatch guages look. You know the green with orange, white with orange whatever. I don't want my car to look like a Christmas tree.

Sorry, but your still wrong!

If he asked about gauges in general, or how well the Autometer Nexus gauges work, then it'd belong there. Thats not what he asked though. He asked a question about the gauges, that specificily had to do with the 3rd gen. Therefore, he put it in the 3rd Gen. specific section. Besides, the mods havnt moved it, so it obviously belongs here.

BTW, real mature reputation message ya left me!!

So do you make it a hobby to post lame pictures from three years ago? At least if your going to dish me up something, try using something that isn't older than the dirt in your undies.

Maybe the mods didn't bother to look in this lame *** thread? Ever think of that?
Besides it doesn't take an add wizard to look at the Nexus gauges on Autometers' website and see how they illuminate.

Considering that the gauges may be purchased by someone not owning a 3rd gen it may be a good idea to organize the topic so others might find it. Since the main discussion is on the color of the illumination. It is only circumstantial weather they match 3rc gen lights or not. The topic is Nexus gauge illumination.
That is the bottom line.

If it's so lame, why did you bother to come in?!

Whatever pictures you find on their website still wont show the exact color they illuminate. There's only 2 ways to know if they match the stock gauges: 1)Somone has a picture of them with them illuminated, along with the stock gauges, side by side/installed, 2)Somone that has the gauges, and have them installed says they match.

Sorry, but your still wrong. The topic is "Autometer Nexus Guages." (Northern7 spelt gauges wrong.) If the questions inside the topic had to do with the gauges in general, it'd belong in the Interior / Exterior / Audio section. However, that's not the case. The question was:

So again, the question is specificily for 3rd gen. rx7's, and this was posted in the 3rd Generation Specific section. How would someone that owns a 2nd/1st gen. know if they would match the stock gauges, if they've never seen them before?
