I have never heard of them before but that price sure looks good and it looks like everything needed comes with it.

At a quick glance they look like they should work fine. Not a bad price for 3 gauges, probe & pillar mount.

I looked at them before getting my prosport gauges. The main reason I did not buy them was I started searching for some info on them just about every forum I went to from my searches be it car forums or truck not to many people had anything good to say about them most every one ended up changing them out for better gauges because of problems with the gauges. There was some people that liked them and had no problems but the majority of people had nothing good to say about them at all and said they were a waste of money and that you would be better off saving for better gauges.

i think my buddy runs those in hisSHO, and they suck, he has 3 of them and every time he cycles the key each gauge ends up a diferent color LMAO. he lokes this stuff and he likes big exhaust tips from AUtozone too,,,,,

anyways he said he would not buy them again.

i know we all have to watch our money beeing spent,but buy good stuff or dont buy it at all cause you end up beeing unhappy and spending more money at the end. thats just my opinion.......

TNT in Round Rock has 3 of them and they are whacked.. He's pretty pissed off about em.. They don't hold memory so he's constantly having to click it to Green Color.. His Fuel Pressure gauge reads some weird numbers, then just plain right quits on him..

So my opinion.. Don't waste your money on it.. Save and get ISSPRO's..

Ya get what you pay for pretty much. Just wait a few weeks and save a little more money and do it right! My ISSPRO's are in route very soon, and who knows how long it will be before I pull the trigger on the DP after that haha

I have prosport gauges they are very good and they were not that bad on price got my A pillar mount from ITP painted to match the truck interior and only spent about 250 for everything. The prosport gauges are black out gauges when the truck is off you don't see the gauge face. Here is a link.

I have exhaust temp o-2500,
oil temp(using for trans temp they are the same)100-350
boost 0-45 psi. All in the blue series.

NO NO NO NO NO I had these gauges and they look like a kindergardener put them together. I bought them and didnt get a chance to pit them on for about two weeks. When I finally got arround to it. The Boost gauge didnt work and the hose they sent was like 4ft long and didnt fit tight on the back of the gauge. The pyro was the only one that worked out of all of them. So I called Glowshift and they told me that I had to send them back within 14days of receiving them and it had been 17days so I was SOL. THANKS GLOWSHIFT!!!! What a waste of money. Spend the extra and get a good set. Because I tried going cheap it cost me in the lond run.

Am I the only one that noticed it came with a fuel pressure gauge and not a tranny temp gauge for the third one? I would think tranny temp is more of what you want and not the fuel pressure.

you can get GOOD gauges that are affordable. I'd stay away from glowshift, though. Go with SPW, Megan, or Prosport.
