Opinions on Evo Prosport Gauges

What do you guys think of the Evo Prosport gauges? Are they are accurate?
They are a good price and I think they look nice. I do prefer the red/white gauge though.

I put a prosport boost in the wifey's genesis. Honestly... I wasn't too impressed with it.

I got the boost and oil pressure gauge. I like the way it looks. Just a matter of personal opinion.

I've heard through the grapevine they aren't very accurate. YRMV.

My biggest pet peeve is that you cannot see the needle very clearly during the day in both Day and Night modes on the gauge.

here's a pic, you can see how the needle is very dark. I re wired it for day mode and same thing.

I have the Boost and Wideband Evo series guages. I personally like the way they look. Boost seems to read fine and Wideband bounces between 14.5-14.7 during idle and cruise, hits in the low 10's during WOT...I'm not tuned though. With that said I can't attest to the accuracy as I don't have anything to really compare to but when I get tuned here in the next month I should have a better idea on the accuracy level of these gauges. They also need to be angled towards you as it can be hard to see during sunny days. I have my Boost on the A pillar and the Wideband on the steering column with no issue of visibility during day or night.

Okay I have the Cobb AP but thought it might be nice to have a gauge all the time. Seems to be about half and half with the poll for them so far.

I have the halo series wideband and oil pressure on my steering column. Visbility is perfect night and day (usually use the white color during the day). Had them since beginning of march and no probs.

I have the Halo Series Boost, Oil Temp, & Oil Pressure gauges in my Evo. I chose those gauges for their appearance, that they're dimmable, switchable colors, & overall value. Not too fond of the Evo series personally - too Fast & Furious for my taste... As far as accuracy goes, they seem more accurate than the MR gauges were.. Are they as accurate as Defi's? Don't know. I think the question to ask is is the difference in accuracy (if any) worth double the price?

Have the rexspeed gauge pods gotten any better? I read there was fitment issues. I just don't like the idea of blocking the OEM gauges at all.
