Default Ricks Gauges - Pics inside


Does anyone have any experience with them?

What would you pay for them?

Is there a down side in using them?

Pictures of said Gauges:-



Let me know your thoughts ideas.

Cheers

Doesn't look like they would sound too good

Definately not worth losing your Stereo for in my opinion, and i'd probably be watching them with paranoia

Probably overkill - depends what you want to monitor though!

I've thought long and hard about these............. and still undecided.

What would you want to monitor.

Boost
A/F
Water Temp
Oil Temp

my bad, these cover the brushed aluminium "flap"?

still undecided. is this a need for performance or a show off want? i'd prefer without to be honest as i like it pretty standard and clean

if it was turboed or boosted to #### maybe but not on a standard imo

i like them, but of being tall it would be a pain to read them. I cant read my radio so they wouldn't be any good for me.

You can make it yourself using the very slim Defi gauges and remote mounted control box, i would personally add an angled spacer to tilt them up to the drivers eye line.
I had a single SPA gauge mounted there and had to space it out about 15 mm to get the door to close, biggest problem was leaving the roof down in hot sunshine it bakes the gauge and the liquid crystal stopped working for half an hour.
