Does anyone have an experience with Glow Shift gauges? (http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/) I've seen the ads and checked out their web site and they look pretty sharp, and the pricing is pretty good compared to name brands. Any thoughts?
 
Yup. I use them. They should be in my signature build thread. If not, go to the youtube walk-around. I love them. Get compliments all day about them. The only thing that I don't like about them is that speedo doesn't have an odometer. Has 2 trips, but no odometer.
 
Dave (ssninja?) has them in his 87 Monte. They look awesome but as I recall reading, he was less than impressed with their accuracy. Specifically, the fuel gauge and speedometer. Hopefully he will chime in.

You should check out Speedhut.com speedometer. I think that's who I'm going with. I'm going to save up and get the whole set of Revolution gauges.
 
I will always take an average looking accurate gauge over a cool looking gauge that is not.
 
Once calibrated(had to adjust the dial on the back a few times), the speedo was dead on with my navigation unit. The tach was pretty comparable to my Innova digital timing light. Voltage was right, as per my Fluke multimeter. Water temp and Oil pressure seem where they should be. Fuel may float around a little, but I thought that may because of the fuel injection. I think they are pretty good gauges for the street. If I had to be balls on, where every bit counts, like a NHRA drag racer or something, I would probably have bought Autometers. But function, look, and price, they can't be beat in my book.
 
They are definitely the best looking aftermarket gauges I've seen. No question about that!
 
Thanks everyone for the input. I've done more research online and looked at several you tube of them in cars and I think I've decided that is the way I am going to go.
