Glow Shift Gauges?
#21
I didn't like the bland look of the Isspros. The EGT was the standard black face, colored lettering type, and it just looked like it belonged in an old dump truck. The Boost was the same face design, but it didn't even match the EGT. The worst thing was I couldn't see the gauges at night. Even when experimenting with different bulbs, LED's, etc...I still could barely make out what the gauges were showing at night. They were very accurate, but just lacked any visibility and modern looks. I know Isspro makes their EV gauges, that are supposed to light better, and match factory gauges better, but the prices are stupid high for a basic looking gauge.
I also don't like the Westachs. They look like aircraft gauges and don't mix well with the trucks factory gauges.
The main reason I was looking at the Glow-Shift gauges other than their cheap price, was the fact that their 7-color design, with the black face, would allow me to match the factory gauges a little better than anything else out there.
I never seen DiPricols, but after a glance on their website, I'm very interested in their Optix gauges...they look pretty damn nice.

You need to get the EV (enhanced visibility) series or Performax.
Isspro makes a good gauge - mine have never missed a beat and theyve been making guages for 90 years.

All those look like they belong in a dump truck??
Or did you have the old style like these?:

Just dont blindly say you "dont like" something - do some research. Also, you can get LED lighting with the EV and EV2 series and Performax series Isspros too.

Thanks to everyone for their input on the Glow-Shift Gauges, I'm sure they are great gauges for the money, but I'll be going with the trusty Auto Meter Ultra-Lites which I've used in the past, or the DiPricol OPTIX gauges if I can find them. I've had my experience with the Isspros, and they aren't fit to my liking, so I won't be trying out any of their other gauges...that's that.
