What do you guys think of the new tinted megan racing boost gauges?? They look pretty cool and they are cheap, but from what i can tell... they may be hard to read. at night time the background is black and the needle also looks black..... any thoughts on this? I think the needle should be some off-color like orange or red... (something visible)

they are neat lookin. i think it has NO needle. when you are building boost, i think it lights up the line around the boost gauge... thats what im thinkin because who in the heck would have a BLACK background and a BLACK needle? just my opinion on it.

i would just go up to advance auto parts and get a autometer that you can read very easy and is more than likely, MUCH cheaper than those black ones.
