GlowShift Gauges?? Any Good?

Has anyone purchased, used, seen Glowshift Gauges? I am shopping around and was just wondering if they are crap or not.

I've never heard of them personally. What are you wanting out of the gauge? Maybe check out P3Cars and see if that may interest you. They install nicely into your vehicle and provides a lot of different data from your vehicle. Some info on them below:

They earned the nickname "Glowsh*t" a long time ago, they are cheap and are not worth the 2nd and 3rd time you'll install new ones when they fail.

Go with Autometer if you want a reliable gauge.

You're welcome. Let me know if you have any questions. I've personally installed their gauges into a lot of different makes and have always been pleased with the outcome.

I had two glow shift gauges in my previous car, and personally I would not use them again. They are cheaply made, I prefer to stick with the brand name gauges that have a reputation because I hate to buy the same gauges twice. that's my $0.02

I currently have an Autometer boost gauge and i'm about to buy an AEM wideband air/fuel gauge.
