i have a set of glow gauges from ebay and my car is a 1992 jap car, unfortunatly my gauges are not flat, they have a beveled edge to them makeing it imposible to fit, guess some l8tr cars have flat faces. maybe they were ment for them.
So i have a set of gauges that are just sat in a draw doing nothing.
These are the ones that dont fit my car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Plasma-Glow-Di...QQcmdZViewItem
I know your gonna say that it says 93 to 95 but i was assured they would fit, ill know next time

I actually bought glow shift guages for my car, they work well pretty accurate the needle is steady as it moves, not all jerky like the cheaper guages, and the tinted ones do look cool but honestly they are kind of hard to see when it's bright and sunny out. But they are pretty kick *** in the dark. I'll take a few picks and post'em up for you.

oh and this is the gauge pod that i made to go over the instument cluster. i didn't think it was too bad since i don't have much expierience with fg or cf. this part is just fg though. im working on one that looks more like the smp one. im also working on a radiator panel and other misc parts.

here goes the other colors. they are the smoked black out version from glowshift.com. the boost gauge ran me 40.02 shipped to wa state. it wasn't too bad. the gauges seem to be very accurate also. sorry i can't get better pics i only have my camera phone. to cheap right now to splurge on a digital cam right now with xmas and all. lol

I had recently purchased their 7-color boost and A/F gauges and installed them on my girlfriend 97 eclipse GSX. They arent a bad looking gauge, and are fairly accurate. I would never put them on any of my cars, as I personally like the higher end digital gauges or at least something a bit more proven for accuracy, butI have no complaints for what I bought them for (looks).

i bought the boost guage and a/f black ones. i am curious to see how they will look in my cf dash cover guage pod from aeroworks.
as for the acuracy. i have an lc-1 so i can hook it up to a lap top for #'s. but off the computer. i'll be looking forward to seeing how it is!
