I have seen a few threads on dodge forums about them over all they were happy.. colors didn't match was one comment. a few ford users said they were gona buy them on other forums, but never posted. would be interesting to see...they really are cheap, which to some extent must mean they are cheap.

a hpop guage makes a neat extra.....course a dp f5 gguage pod , then there is always the o'l clock....lol

Do a search for glowshift on here. I've never read anything bad about them other than being cheaply made but a couple of people had wished they bought better stuff from the start. I just finished installing my gauges a few minutes ago. I got the Isspro set from Diesel Manor and couldn't be happier. Be careful with the cheap stuff to save money, more often than not in the long run you will have to buy it again. With that in mind I usually spend a little more for the quality the first time, I hate buying the same part twice.
