Has anyone had any experience with ProSport Gauges. Look good, very reasonable, but limited types.

got a link?

I know Bill Deft, he sells the same CF hoods I do -- very nice guy, good customer service.

These gauges look like re-branded GlowShift to me -- the ranges and layout are the same. Water temp to 350 degrees? Voltage to 19 volts? I've never liked that aspect of the GlowShift gauges.

Here's the main thing, though. When they are not lit, they are blacked out -- you won't be able to read them at all. GlowShift makes that kind, but they also make a daytime-visible version; that's what I put in my car.

I love the colors, but eventually I will probably swap out for Autometer -- it's a superior gauge.

cali yaris, thanks for the input. I use Autometer on my PT Cruiser Turbo, but don't like the backlighting. I'll look more closely, but have a ready
'ignition on' power source I can use, left over from the fog light installation.

What types/lines of autometers? Some of the newer ones don't use the classic single bulb behind the face that looks like crap lol. But the red bulb cover matches early 90s mitsubishi dash lighting almost perfectly lol

I've been debating whether or not to order some autometers myself. Personally I would go with the Sport Comp II series. They have a black face with white LED lit markings/numbers and a red needle. I think they would compliment/match the stock speedo pretty well.

yeah those are nice. I have Autometer C2 gauges in my Scion tC:
