Who Makes Best Looking Guages
 

I am in need of Boost Guage and air fuel ratio gauge any suggestion which company has the best looking set? Thanks. Pics would also be appreciated. I need 2 1/16 to fit in guage pod. Thanks again

I like the old HKS ones....i dun got any pics...BUT if i remember correctly there were pics posted about a month ago. I like them because they are the same exact color as our stock interior lighting, and makes everything look very put together.

Does anyone know if HKS still sells the orange lighted gauges?

if u go with Autometer-Cobalt gauges (C2) they have white faces and would go very well with some cheap white face gauges from ebay. thats what im doing to my car, ill post pictures when i get it back.

the Cobalt Boost gauge will run you abou $200 canadian.
the Cobalt Air fuel will run around $75

there's the thread good luck!!

Autometer Colbolt (sp?) and the reverse glow kit for the stock cluster are my personal choices.

I love the way the new Apexi' EL series guages look, but I think I might switch to greddy due to cost (bought Apex'i boost, but I need oil pressure and water temp and they're a small fortune)

how can you go past Defi gauges ?? :) if it wasnt for the price of them Id go all Defi

vdo, they glow red.

I second the VDOs... They rock, plus on the accuracy standpoint, Porsche can't be wrong. ;)

suds.

Any pics mounted in an FC?

looks don't matter. Get the ones that work well! I am regreting getting mine to match my reverse indiglo gauges (live and learn) they are crapy faze gauges and two of the gauges fog up for some dumb reason .......... oh yeah because they are cheap!

VDO guages are also very plane jane guages and cheap

summit has them most of which are under $30

exactally why they are good :bigthumb: i've rocked some in a VW and with a red LED they looks hawt
heres a pic of a VDO Vision series 30in HG - 25psi guage

Both VDO and autometer's regular gauges are nice black face gauges with stock looking orange back light. For the price, I'd say autometer.

Go VDO... shorter name means they don't have to compensate for much. :D

suds...

lol

has anyone taken apart the new hks gauges? ive got the boost gauge and i want it to be orange lights not neon white

Defi

Defi, most Defi. :D

Defi...without a doubt
And this year you can get them in amber too which, as it happens, matches the rex dash perfectly...nice!

autometer cobalt series(not the C2 the ones with the black faces). they look awesome. didnt match my cluster, but that was easily solved with a news set of gauge faces from blackcatcustom.com

DEFI!!!

You could already get the D series gauges (see pic above) in either black faced or white faced and they would glow amber. The gauges turboand is talking about are the BF series gauges. They used to be only available in white backlighting, but they are now available with either white or red backlighting.

Either way, Defi look the best.

I sixth that! I've got them. Defi D-Gauges all the way.

Here are some shots of Jayspec7's car. He had the Defi BF gauges.
