Defi BF series is great. I've had them for a couple months now and I love them! If you don't want to spend that much the racer gauges are nice as well. When I had my 350z, a buddy of mine had his Prosport (my bad I thought they were STRI) gauge failed on him twice in the same month. He got sick of sending them back so he switched to Defi. I don't know if this is a normal thing but I always prefer Defi over any other brand.

I have STRI's and they are very accurate. They look good also. They do not look as good as the defi's but I could not justify spending almost a thousand dollars on gauges.

Then I also have a AEM wideband. I think the set up looks pretty good.

My bad, I got it mixed up, the gauges my buddy had to send bck were prosports, not the STRIs. I have seen the STRI in Jake's car and I could have sworn they were Defis
