looks good, but it would have been an easy do-it-yourself project. keep an eye on those gauges, ive heard no good reports of faze gauges, but its your car not mine.

they are an inexpensive gauge made by sunpro. its sunpros "performance" line of gauges, that was added to the companys line of cheap gauges when the whole import craze started. they care more about they indiglo and color changing than the actual accuracy of the gauges. we stopped selling them at my store after the first few returns because of gauges that just stopped working, temp senders that broke after a few days of operation, and general dislike of the very notchy movement of the needles. its just my opinion of the product, its a cheap line that was aimed at the "tuners" that dont want to shell out for accurate gauges, opting instead for that indiglo ricer look.

i have sunpro air fuel ratio gauge in my s13, and that sh*t never read accurate, im not sure if it was the connection or not, but i ran a wire straight to my o2 sensor, and it would give me all types of late/wrong readings

air/fuel gauges are completely useless. they'll never give an accurate reading, don't worry about it.

I love that gauge setup though. That's exactly what I need, I have mine in the vents but would love to move them there, since I don't use a stereo or anything. It's look fairly simple to do, I might try it.
