gauge pods

recently ive been thinking of adding afew gauges (the basic ones)
and stumbled across the style that raine(the moderator) has it I really like that style (sorry to copy u)but dont know if I should buy sum cheap ones of ebay for about $10 each and the gauge pods $5 each,or should i buy the megan ones for $40 each wich am willing to pay but theres still the dilema of the gauge pods which i want them to look exactly like raines, but dont want to spend alot of money. so raine or anybody give your opinion and if you can post pics that would help too.


Please post pics of youre set up.

thanks

if you arent gonna drop money for gauges, it isnt really worth it imo. You sould spend your money on something that will work right, and properly moniter everything... gauge pod is up to you

making sense would help... what else would you use defi GAUGES for?
they come with other "features" but the quality and accuracy is most important

if your super hardcore poser you can get defi, but if your just looking for some gauges to look cool get autometer or something, wouldn't trust $10 gauges off ebay.

defi gauges are way overpriced in my opinion...but ooh they look cool, who the hell cares...poser

ok now ladies, defis are great guages...but their expensive, no $hit...i personally wouldnt get them unless i had more money than i could figure out how to spend...and i was half kidding...and i figured if you need guages you probably have a modified engine and by then you should know at least a little about guages...their overpriced, but so is a S13 front end, but everybody and their mom is getting one nowadays...oh well...nice to see uve made your decison

i have no prob with defi but for this guy theres no point on getting defi just like most car people there no need to get defi

i have a feeling that this guy won't need to use anything like defi he just needs a gauge that's why i told him to go with autometer

you must have a pretty good damn job to have what you have at just the age of 16 too...I know when I was 16 I could hardly afford gas, yet alone 10 thousand to play around with
