The one I got with my package deal is pretty close. Not 100% spot on, but fine enough for me.

 

has anyone used the edge insight cts? i like the thought of having multiple gauges at the tip of my finger, but if it doesnt work then i would rather have a set of gauges

 

I don't know which one. I like the bezel but there is something about the pillar that excites me. Just the racer look of the pillar make it seem like your in a cockpit. (lol COCKpit)

PILLAR

Definitely getting some ProSport gauges to go in. I love the two color and all black when ignitions off.

 

The only thing I dislike about the pillar pod is that the gauges are visible outside the car. I would consider that you be a bad thing. From the driver's perspective it looks cool and all the information is easily seen and read. But from the perspective of someone passing you, like say a cop, it could give a bad impression of you and/or your car. Just my $0.02.

 

Yeah I never thought about that. I think I am going to go with the pillar pod though because It's like $30 cheaper and holds another gauge, I will probably repaint it though to match the stock grey or depending on how plastic and shiny it looks I might buy some DGM paint and paint all my plastic interior. Thanks for your help. Now I find myself asking.. What other gauges should I get? Water temp, Oil temp, ???.

 

Thats why I wired mine to a switch and not the ignition. So at least if a cop is passing me (especially at night) it will help that much more. No problems so far

 

I don't care about cops. I have a stock engine. Really the only thing they could get me for is probably my front windows tinted and speeding but I don;t speed by much.

 

^ You could always buy my Valentine One Radar to prevent a speeding ticket! (:

 

Just give it time. I was pulled over for tint once and the cop popped my hood. it was kinda funny.



Since this is a gauge thread. Has anyone heard of Depo Gauges? They look like Defi knock offs and actually look pretty good. But I am kinda concerned about quality.

Im running a Sunpro Gauge from autozone so I dont think you have much to worry about on the Depo. I Heard of them before but havent met anyone with them yet.

 

Just to let you know we are on the board, so if anyone has any tech questions, spec's install questions we can help you out.

 

Jourdan, whats the law on cops popping your hood?!

 

Umm, I dunno. I don't have anything illegal under there so I just pop it.

 

If they ask you and you say I do not consent to any type of search of my vehicle I believe they need some sort of warrant or so unless your obviously catless than that pretty much gives them a reason to pop the hood but they are not allowed to touch or attempt to move anything.

 

all they need is "probable cause" -so if they have a small reason to suspect then they can dig further. For example if they smell pot, they can seach your vehicle without any warrant. or if they see a roach in your ashtray, that give them cause to search further. So if they see/hear your car is modified they can seach further for violations.
