Good place to buy gauges in Canada?

Looking at maybe getting VDO 52mm gauges via Amazon.ca
Is there a better source for basic gauges in Canada?
Thanks

Haven't heard much about VDO since 2007. What other brands you thinking?

Honestly, I don't care that much what brand they are
I want something simple that has a similar style to the stock gauges

Honestly I had good luck on Amazon - bought all my Innovate stuff through them at amazing prices. Also, GlowShift ships to Canada, and Tdot Performance may have some stuff. You can always check with Carl at Perry Performance too - you never know what he can get, and he always has amazing prices.

I got all mine from summit racing. Every once and awhile autometer or AEM goes on sale. You pay import fees at checkout so no surprises when you get them.

I've got an Autometer boost gauge (still in package) if you're interested. I'm in NB as well.

I ordered from Amazon in the end, but thanks

I'm running Autometer gauges in the center pod, I chose them because they are very, very similar looking to stock (with the red bulb cover used). Silver rim, same font etc.


You'll probably have a performance shop close by, I found that to be the easiest route - especially considering my first water temp gauge was defective.
