The look really nice, I hope there is a wide selection of gauges. I wonder if you can change the color (doubt it, hence the name) Its about damn time Autometer started making something like this.

yeah, they are sooo nice. But expensive comared to the rest of the automete line up. $60 for an carbon fibre series boost gauge, $170 for a cobalt series boost gauge.

they are nice gauges I have the cobalt boost gauge. it is an electrical gauge it was pretty easy to hook up. They only glow blue but it is a nice subtle blue just a few shades lighter than the VW blue gauges. Hope that helps ya. Also if you search the net I found the cobalt boost gauge for like 160 is the cheapest. Later

LOL, they are about the same price as other electronic boost gauges. There I was jsut saying they are way more expensive then the regular autometer mechanical line up.

Check into the VDO Millenium style gauges.

Backlit, and very OEM looking. Any color you want.
