I'm getting tired of my bright silver/white ultra-lite autometers, and want more stealthy looking gauges.

megan racing offers tinted lens gauges at a fraction of the higher end brands. Anyone have experience with them?

yeah i have them in my car at night they look really good during the day they are a lil too dark, they also had a bad batrch of boost gauges but they replaced them all for free, u should call bonehead performance for them i think chuck will give you a good price.

I love the megan gauges. I wanna get a set for my car down the road when I need more. Chuck gives a real good price on these, cheapest I've seen yet!

What was the problem with the boost gauges? Mine seems to read boost accurately (checked with MAP sensor and boost controler) BUT, the vacuum portion is mis-labeled.

Overall, the gauges are alright. I agree that they are a little dark during the day but they are great at night. I get a ton of compliments on them. My only concern now is that a 30 PSI boost gauge isn't enough so I need to move on.

igo4bmx: PM me if you are interested in used Megan gauges (the oil pressure and water temp actually haven't even been hooked up yet).

the needle used to sit a lil lower then normal and read the boost like 3 psi under what it really was, but this was about 8 months ago, and like i said all of them were replaced just a bad batch

I was curious since I purchased mine under a group buy and I've had no contact with the person I purchased them from since. Mine sits dead on 0 with the engine off and seem's to report boost pretty accurate compared to my other two sensors.
