Gauges on eBay

Ok I know there's a thread about these gauges on ebay, but I also know that more people will see the thread here in the general section than the advanced section. I just want to know if anyone has any experience with these gauges.

Thanks

You get what you pay for...and since monitoring your engine is one of the most important things you can do i would get some gauges you trust like Stewart warner or the old faithful but expensive defis

Exactly. You bought a $32,000 for a car, and - no offense - if you can't afford $150 worth of gauges, perhaps you bought the wrong car. Stewart Warners are inexpensive but excellent quality gauges and have been proven very accurate.

Yeah I know, I'm not going to buy them, I just wanted to see if anyone had a chance to check them out. Not everything that sounds too good to be true always is. Just a friendly reminder, that's all.

Prosport gauges are a very popular alternative to expensive gauges. Check them out.

I got defi blue gauges. Really accurate with stepper motor design. Don't read critical things from the engine on crappy gauges. It's not worth it.

I suppose, but personally I'd rather not put my own belongings at risk to test that theory it

Why not get some OEM gauges if you don't already have them.I know they are not fancy but you know the quality will be great.

In my opinion you can't go wrong with either the Stewart Warner or the Prosport gauges. They are both high quality at a discount price.
