Hey guys, happened to come across these while browsing around Autometer's site. I personally think they look pretty sweet, classic Autometer design with something more intricate than red on plain white...it's the first time I've seen carbon fiber used tastefully, usually I only see carbon fiber hoods or dash panels on ricers, which I always hated...

What do you guys think? It seems like it would blend into a black interior much better...

I like it, but personally, I'd still end up getting the white.

Well, based on what I've heard, that doesn't seem to be entirely true...certainly the popularity of Autometers allows the company to jack up the prices somewhat, but everyone has always said they are extremely accurate, and Autometer's customer service is very helpful. The fact that they're used in many professional racing leagues doesn't hurt my choice either ...not to mention they do have a unique and rather cool look to them.

I've had their Ultra-Lite Fuel Pressure and Air-Fuel Ratio gages since they first came out about 3 or 4 years ago. The gauge face isn't screen printed with a simulated carbon fiber pattern, but genuine carbon fiber. As I recall I had to special order one of the two gages because they hadn't done it yet in the c.f.

well, considering that my dad was on the test team for the new sport-comp playback tach, i am biased. but i am also very good friends with Mike Tritle, an autometer rep. they are great gauges and stand behind thier name.

I have a autometer carbon fiber air/fuel gauge and a trans temp gauge in a a pillar gauge pod and like em, they were the closest thing to match my 90 Formula factory gauges

look in chevy hi-performance, there is an advert in there for carbon fiber dash kits for our cars. I thought that if I had the bucks the dash kit and the gauges you are talking about would look pretty cool. they also come with the wiring so it's a plug and play deal. FYI
