I can't decide on white face or black face gauges and what color back light. Does anyone have picts of their pods with black face and white face gauges? Any at night with the back light on? I like the looks of the white, gives it a more sportier look, but the black ones may blend in better and be less of a distraction when driving.

Still not sure on if I want isspro or autometer, both seem good. The isspro ev2 would be nice because of less wiring but I was hoping to keep the price around $300, $400 is what I was quoted yesterday.

Any help appreciated.

 

i went with the autometer z series. just for the fact that they look just like factory gauges. IMHO i think white face gauges look cheezy. i put white led bulbs in my gauges w/the green bulb covers and they turned out blue!! heres a pic with my sirius to compare looks

 

I have auto meter white face gauages in my 97
and diprocol black face in my dads 04.

Honestly the Diprocol gauges look great and are soooo much cleaner and better than the autometers. I like the black and now that my pyro is sticking after 4 years i might order a set of black diprocols.

The lighting in the autometers is cheezy with the "around the dial" light. The led "throught the dial" diprocols is very clear and looks exactly like the gauges on the truck

 

Thanks for the pict gobstopper909, the pointer looks like it might be a little hard to see, is that just the picture or is that the way they actually look?

FormanES who sells the Diprocol gauges and how much was it for the set up? How was wiring them in? Thanks.

 

Yessir foreman is right. The back lighting in the z's suck.. Thats why i put the leds in. It brightened them up but you have to be looking at the guage pretty dead on to see all the way around it. Hope this helps

 

Thanks gobstopper909, so I should probably look for a different series of gauges.

I did a quick search for the diprocols, or is it dipricols, and one site said they were on back order for a month. I am hoping to get some so I can install them on fathers day weekend.

 

I just installed Auto Meter Sport Comps with a black face. They look good, and real good at night!

 

groundpounder, was that a 3 gauge A pod set up, where did you get them from and for how much? thanks. How was the install of them also?

 

yes the sport comp gauges look good at night. the reason i got the z's was price. they were a package deal from rpm outlet. 3 pod pillar with gauges for 229.00 just watch buying from them. a few guys as had problems as well as me. (customer service was the downfall.) i would pick another supplier if i had to do it again.

 

I had black face Banks..switched to white face Phantom II's....love them! They seem way brighter at first but you can't beat them for clarity. My 2 cents

 

if you buy autometer i personally suggest Summitracing, they have decent prices plus their customer service is pretty good. I have bought some stuff from them and have not had any trouble with them. but this is all based off just my experience with them.

 

I tried calling summit on tuesday but my call got dropped. I need to try them agian. I am kind of leaning toward RiffRaff diesel and the Isspro EV series but need to make a few more calls and look at the auto meter sport comps. I think I will go with the black face style.

Groundpounder0331, where did you get yours and what was the price? Thanks.

 

Sorry about my delayed response. Just spend the weekend taking of my tubo pededastal to completely remove the EBPV cyclinder .

I purchased my gauges from Tymar performance. The package consisted of gauges, A-pillar pod, and install kit. The kit contains everything you need to install, i.e., spade and butt connectors, fuse taps, MAP line T with copper tubing etc. I'm at work now and can't remember the total price. I believe everthing I mentioned above was under $400.00. You may want to paint the A-Pillar pod if you don't have a black interior. I used some good spray paint for vinyl/plastic and it turned out well. I'll try to find the total price tonight when I get home. You can also call Dale (owner Tymar Performance) at 509-922-8785.

 

OK... I got the receipt in my hot little hands....

Auto Meter Sport Comp II gauges: 292.71 (Boost, Trans, Pyro)
A-Pillar 3 gauge: 47.75
Gauge Install kit: 25.99
Price: 366.45
Tax: $31.14
Total= $397.

You may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere but working with Tymar has been a good experience.

 

Thanks groundpounder, no problem on the delayed response. I went with Clay at Riff Raff Diesel. It was a toss up between him or Diesel Manor, it was $335 for isspro ev1 3 gauges with pod and everything but the T for the map line. I almost feel I should of gone with diesel manor because they are only about 100 miles from me and they said they include instructions which would be real nice. Hopefully I get them before this weekend.
