autometer is getting pretty fancy

anyone else seen these yet?

http://hp.autometer.com/homepage/homepage.html

looks like they're jumping on the daisy chain and plethora of features bandwagon (good) and that they're gonna be some pretty awesome gauges. i was hoping they'd come out with some P/H/W gauges. nice playback features too...

I have to agree, I love how some of the new gauges look.

Those are pretty nice. Don't really think 7 colors or whatever is necesarry, but that will help sales.

They need to make a full line though. That's the only way to buy gauges IMO. They all need to match or it looks hokey.

They really need to do a whole plug-n-play gauge cluster for our cars like they did for Mustangs....available with any of their instrument series.

There's some cool technology there....

Re: autometer is getting pretty fancy

i dunno the cobalt line ran me into the $1000 range so im sure these will be even more but man they look sweet....as for the mustang cluster...ive been in constant contact with autometer about making a triple pillar for the 93-96z and a custom cluster for the 4th gen as well but they are not interested, i have however talked to APC about making them and they did seem to be interested, although i dont have anything at this time ill keep you posted

Re: autometer is getting pretty fancy

Holy crap those are impressive.

I agree. We NEED a plug and play cluster like the mustangs have. I dont want a pillar for my car (it'd stand out too much) but I need a few extra guages... Having something that would let you pick a few extra guages would be worth it's weight in gold.

And that startup-shutdown sequence is freaking awesome.

Re: autometer is getting pretty fancy

if you guys love these gauges check out DEFI gauges... i had them in my supra and are probably the only gauges i'd ever buy (now i had to see these tho they function very similarly to these with a few small exceptions.

Re: autometer is getting pretty fancy

I just got a really goofy idea... I bet if you popped off the lens for your cluster, you could stick a low depth 2" electronic gauge on each side and you might not loose anything from it either. I've got a spare cluster from a 94 V6... I wonder if it'd work...

Also I'm a huge fan of the polished trim rings you can get for the gauges on a C5 cluster...
