Does the plastic part around the gauges come in anything other than tan?

TDavis · 12-04-2013, 10:22 PM

I bought it from a member on here, it comes in Pewter which is a grey. I painted it to match my tan interior.

My top half of my car is "taupe" or like an off beige'ish color. This color is called "Light Neutral" and was the closest I could find to match the interior color. The Taupe that I found was way to dark. This color is a lighter shade but gives the car a brighter feel. Just need to clean the rubber trim around the pillar, they look nasty and a dirty beige, should match better after a cleaning.

Awesome Gauges for sure.

I really want the depo digital ones (same as prosport) but haven't heard good things about longevity. So I'm still on the fence.

sleepyalero · 12-05-2013, 03:00 PM

just get aem and call it a day.

tipnitty · 12-05-2013, 03:08 PM

I'll stick with autometer most likely. Good quality that I've known for years.

funny you say that. glad you are having good luck with them.

when I was interested in going full aem gauges I did some digging on car forums and google. a lot of people say autometer has gone to sht and are basically worthless now. idk if that is there gauges now or there older series gauges but a lot of people leaned towards like Delphi and aem and some other expensive gauge brands. also said prosport was junk along with glowshift or as most called it "glowsht"

personally, ive never used autometer, probably never will.... so I don't have a say on if they are good or bad. im just saying what I have read in my recent searches.

tipnitty · 12-05-2013, 05:02 PM

Well I haven't bought any of their new series. I love their older Z series and the sport comp and cobalt digitals. Always done me well.

sleepyalero · 12-05-2013, 05:30 PM

Well good. Like I said just sayin

Oh yeah I understand. Luckily my gauges are pretty much cosmetic. Depending on the car I build and how I build it will dertermine. If I can build a supra, definitely defi link gauges. If it's the TA, very well might to AEM.

They are all person preference anyways

sleepyalero · 12-05-2013, 06:18 PM

Exactly

and good luck I would like an fd supra....

I've always wanted an MKIV, with this job I'll be able to afford on in a year or so. Problem is finding the right one and selling my TA. Time will tell

These are how they're supposed to look when my lights are on. I have the amber wire wired to the "Turn LPS" fuse and when the key is "on" they're amber, whether the headlights are on or not. Key is on "acc" they're white. Turn the car on they're white. I need to find a non dimmable source to tap into to make them turn amber with the lights on. Still trying to find that.

Really loving these gauges so far, love the "new school" look of them.

sleepyalero · 12-05-2013, 08:24 PM

I like round body.

And tanner. Your oil is maxed out in temp.

tipnitty · 12-05-2013, 08:32 PM

Round body is 93.5-98 which is MKIV. MKIII is box body bud
