GlowShift Gauges
So I just got these in. If you haven't seen GlowShift gauges check out their site:
http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/
I was interested in them because the gauges are cheap, but they still look good and have 7 color settings. Also they are really cheap for having 270* dials. I couldn't find a review on Google so here we go!
The package was in UPS's hands the day after I ordered (I ordered in the evening). I got volts, vac, and water temp and a dash pod, all gauges were the black series. Shipping was free which is always nice. Packaging was great, the gauges come with everything you need, senders, tubing, brackets, harnesses, bezel if you have an angle mount, and good instructions.
The construction seems very solid and they look sharp. Accuracy wise I can only test the voltmeter for sure, and it was dead on. My multimeter read 11.98V, and the meter was just a shmidge below being right on the 12V mark. But I think the best idea is some pics and vids. Enjoy!

Re: GlowShift Gauges
Those are badass dude! I wonder if you could take those out and replace some of the original gauges with them. How much did those babies cost??

Re: GlowShift Gauges
$140 shipped for the 3 gauges and the dash pod. That's with a 10% off coupon code that I can't remember at the moment, but ill add it to the first post when I do.

Re: GlowShift Gauges
I have to agree, the Glowshift gauges are very nice. I've been running Glowshift gauges on my A-pillar for over a year now and they have been performing great!

Re: GlowShift Gauges
Those gauges look nice.
I bought a couple Glowshift coolant gauge sending unit adapters (they splice into radiator hoses) and a couple of their pillar pods.
Good prices and fast shipping. Quality seems good but the finish on the pillar pods was a bit too shiney so they didn't quite match the factory trim.

Re: GlowShift Gauges
Don't have the car anymore, had to move about 5 months ago so we could only take 2 cars. I sold my GTP and my Camaro and got a GTO I never got a chance to mount the gauges, although I still have them sitting in my closet lol.

Re: GlowShift Gauges
Where did you find your A pillar, and is it a complete A pillar cover or just the partial? Im thinking of going this route with the Glowshift gauges but the triple pod A pillar mounts on their website are for 4th gen camaros. I was thinking that maybe the Autometer 52mm 3 pod A pillar mounts would work.

Re: GlowShift Gauges
Dang. I would of loved to see some pictures. I'm planning on getting a 3 gauge pillar and a 3 gauge pod holder like yours. I was going to mounthing under the center air vents about the a/c controls. Is this the pods you have? Thanks for all the info. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
