Guages?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38660

The link above is for 4 guages...for 95 bucks. My question is why are they so cheap and are they reliable? If not why? I am looking to buy some guages and these look to be a good deal if reliable. Any feedback would be appreciated. thanks, sid.

Don't go with cheap parts. If it doesn't look right, don't buy it.

What good is that going to do you?
"well if its pegged at 140, atleast I know its warm"...

Get ready for the 2 fast 2 furious where you will see many of those car will have over 5 gauge inside the cockpit.

My autometer's work fine, as will my PFC commander.

I wouldn't go with these gauges. Although they are better than nothing. If you can afford something more reliable then go for it.

Yeah, at first, I thought you were an ***, and that you couldn't determine that the gauge was measured in celcius, but upon closer inspection, you were right... they are in fahrenheit. How the hell is 140F going to tell you whether or not the car is overheating?!

DON'T get these gauges! If you want something that is functional, get VDO gauges. They look stock, and are very accurate.
