Stay away from the Glow Shift gauges. Spend the money one and get a quality product! I prefer Isspro gauges myself, and Clay (Riffraff Performance) is a sponsor here and can probably get you the best deal.

Keep in mind you get what you pay for. You will get a lot of different opinions on this subject. I myself have the DiPricol Optix setup. I love the way they look and the way they work. I have 2 gauges mounted over my rear view mirror.

The bad thing with DiPricol right now is that the company is very shaky and may end up going under. They make a nice product, but getting parts and support if you have a problem in the future may be difficult.

Hopefully it is just rumors as they do have a really nice product.EDIT- FWIW I just did a web search and had a hard time coming up with anything that wasn't someone selling the gauges. Even their home page is very basic with almost no info on the company at all.
