because it's much nicer to look at

 

if it serves a perpose. then its not rice.. my 02 cents.. and its your car.. get what you want.

 

exactly

 

Yeh but why pay inflated prices for the name and a few flashing lights when you can get a normal one for much cheaper...

 

I didnt run guages last year except for a cheapy boost/vac guage.

IMO thats all you really need unless its going to be a nasty set-up. And if yours is then I would do this first

Water temp (nice to have a number reading IMO) Oil Pressure, Boost, Oil Temp (up to you but I like it for when its hot and the car is idleing for a while)

 

autometer pro comp vac/boost, sunpro narrowband air/fuel, plx wideband o2, and equiox oil psi, water temp, and voltage does it for me. course i got the oil psi/water temp/voltage gauges all at once for $35, talk about a sale.

i dont think defi are ricey, they are really nice gauges. that doesn't mean i'm gonna waste my money on them though. u want ricey, look up those 7 color-changing ones. they are extremely gay, i saw a guy at nopi with a bunch of the color changing ones, it was like a ------ rainbow in his car.

 

maybe you didnt notice that the ones i'm looking at are black with white dials...i dont see flashy anywhere near what i'm looking at, do you?

i'm finding cheapest deals i can and its sitll 40 bucks a pop on these gauges but when they run up to 200 a piece screw that no ---- i'm not going to be buying the new flashy ones.
