You can probably find a microwave for about $40 nowadays. I'm sure there was more research and development put a microwave than any gauge will ever have. They also cost more to manufacture. I guess gauge prices are a matter of supply and demand--not much demand, so higher prices.

They sell a lot more microwaves too, making the cost spread out more, driving the price down. (I'm in Economics class right now!)

Im not going to argue on this, because I know better. Trust me, more precision is needed to create one of those gauges than to slam together a microwave. Back on topic, to the gentleman that installed the gauges, Im assuming other brands of gauges will fit, if they are 52 mm, correct???

How hard is it to wire these things up yourself? I'm installed entire stero systems, but don't like playing with wire too much.

I'm going to get the Defi D-Gauges Boost and EGT. It's around 290 for both. For just the Boost its only $110. The Defi gauges are very accurate and look better then any other gauges I've seen too. They fit in with the oem lighting. The Defi D-Link setup is too expensive for my tastes, but the D-Gauges are priced much better.

D-Gauge pics:






I just got an Autometer boost/vac gauge so it looks like I'm not going to get these, but they sure are nice gauges.

Thanks
