Default What gauges are these?


Does anyone know what these are, or how hard/costly they would be to install?

They look real similar to ProSport gauges but can't really tell. I do like that though.

I don't like them in the console, but the pod is awesome!

Yeah, they look just like my ProSport EVO gauges. You can also make them change color when you put your headlights on.

They're not the ProSport gauges. At least, I couldn't find matching gauges on ProSport's webpage. The speedometer from ProSport goes up to 140 mph and has a pure analog display. The speedometer on the video has a higher readout and the gauge has a digital display. In addition, the ProSport gauges start reading at 6 o'clock and go to 3 0'clock. The gauges in the video start at about 7 0'clock and go to 5 o'clock. So, while they look similar, they are different.

How hard is it to install gauges like these, or the prosport?

It is a rather involved, time consuming, therefore expensive thing to have done.....and when "done" only the guy who did it can ever work on it again..... no one else would have a clue as to what he modified in the process. Plus "custom" dashes typically reduce the value of the car for most people.

car has Victoria (Australia) plates, gauges look like a range sold through supercheap auto, Australia wide parts supplier.

(not that difficult to re-do pod and wire in aftermarket gauges- I have a VD0 programmable speedo running off an unused ABS brake sensor, tacho direct from ECU, cut the multiplugs and use existing wiring for fuel/oil/volts etc.)
