Glowshift gauges? Or name brand?

Hi all. So I'll start off by saying I've got an 06 WRX and I've been looking at getting gauges so I can monitor what's going on within my car. But gauges are so expensive! For what they are at least.

I've googled and looked up reviews on glow shift gauges because they price is cheap and something I can work with instead of getting one gauge here and another gauge there down the road.

I guess my main question is. Are glow shift gauges worth buying? Or are they trash and should I get name brand like Defi or something.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Especially if you have first hand experience with glow shift gauges.

Thanks for the input! I found a gauge kit from glow shift got about 150 and you can pick 3 52mm gauges to go in it. That I can work with. I just don't want to buy trash. Thanks for your input! Does the glow shift boost gauge just display to the tenths (like 15) or does it go into decimal (like 13.5). Just curious =).

Got got myself a pair of Depo (Defi knockoff) gauges and I'm pretty pleased with them. I got Oil Pressure and Water Temp though.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks jourdanwithaU. I still like the glow shift ones but the depo gauges look a little better in my opinion and would go great in my car.

Defis all the way for me. 60mm seems a bit small still once you have it installed for a while.

Classiest look IMO too.

Defi gauges are great. But I think my Depo gauges look pretty gewd.
