Pic Request: Stri Gauges

I cant seem to find a picture with the Stri gauges next to the cluster.. I wanted to see how close the amber is to the oem amber cluster (I hate it when its the same color but not the same tone). Im hoping to get the DSD-SLM-II in amber. If the color is not that close im going to either go with DSD-SLM-II black face with white backlight or the DSD-CS with the white face and red units for a real JDM look. Thanks

Yeah I would appreciate it. I know me too, I rather have the white led's if its not a very close match, than having redish amber gauges and light orangish amber cluster. For instance I like the Defi's color compared to the stock cluster but color or not their overpriced.

dont get me wrong i love the defi gauges also and would more than these but the price was right and there very nice the boost gauge is a little slow when ****ing but it gets the job done. the only real difference is that defi has playback and a control unit other than that they do what need to be done. as for the collor i never really liked the red stock lighting as soon as a run out of stuff to do on the car ill do that which might take a little while

You could always go with the Defi red racer gauges. I have the boost gauge and it matches the stock cluster pretty good.

Yeah I think im gonna go with those tazdevil. Did you get the 60's or 52's I couldn't really tell from the pics comparing it to your wideband. Ohh and did they include the oil pressure sender with the oil press gauge? Or did you have to buy their sandwhich plate thingy? Thanks for postin your pics btw.

The ring with the red triangle on it is removable. I have mine on 20 PSI just to see if my car would boost to 20 PSI and hold it there and to my surprize it does.

Hey man,

Is the stepper motor loud? Does the gauge needle move smoothly or is it clock-like?
