Looks like a Defi BF gauge knock-off... A knockoff of a $220 gauge for $40. Hmm... Need I say you'll get what you pay for?

I love how people think they can get a $400 product for 1/4 the price and still expect the same quality. Cracks me up every time!

I feel you bricke. I dunno about others, but I push my car HARD. I'm simply too scared to put on no-name untested performance products on the car, because a premature failure could be devestating at the wrong place and wrong time...

Buy, test and let us know if they are a good value. I seriously doubt anyone on here has ever or would ever be the first to buy them.

They dont look bad but then again I didnt think autometer looked bad. You just can't beat the Defi quality. Try to find a store where you can see some Defi gauges in action.

i thought i might add alittle on this.....if you are wanting gauges that have black backs and red all around to match the stock face... you might want to go for veilside guages......perform great and are pretty much a perfect match to the interior face guage lights alittle pricey though somewhere around 130 - 160... just my 2 cents about the guages if you want a site to look at them....its right here......
