Gauge question

Does anyone have knowledge of the Glow Shift company gauges, pillar gauge mounts and oil filter adapters. Are they a reputable company and sell good quality products? The reason I ask is their prices are quite reasonable. Thanks ahead of time. Stan

I just bought ISSPRO EV2 gauges, I wanted to buy a high quality product now and not worry about it later on. The EV2 gauges also match the stock gauges perfectly. I'm in college so don't have a lot of spare cash, but I can't imagine the price difference is that significant. Aden at GOS Performance hooked me up with a great deal.

Gauge question reply

I agree with what you said. A 3 gauge setup, with the adapters to hook them up and the 3 gauge pillar post adapter is 149.95 plus shipping of about 8.00.

A friend of mine had Glowshift's in his WRX. I personally hated them, the colors were flashy and ugly, the "Glowshift" on the middle fo the gauge lit up blue and orange IIRC, which didn't match anything. The needle's fluttered and the gauge pod (on top of dash) was a very poor fit.

That's great to hear. As far as you can tell do they seem to be accurate? If I buy them I will let you know after I have installed thwm.

well considering what they said its a crap shoot...I personally love them like I said earlier and too each is own...I like them one bc they go to any color...two they actually do match my trucks gauges...three I had a problem with the wiring I did personally and without any questions they sent me a new gauge...finally my gauges have never fluttered and I didnt buy one of there guage pods I got one from one of the users here...but if you want something different from what everyone else has then go with them...they are good gauges in my opinion and I have had autometer gauges b4 and hated them...but everyone has an opinion and different experiences ....btw the gauges seem to be accurate as far as I can tell
