    The best prices for the Blitz BLM gauges that I could dig up were at Istoreparts.com. I have never ordered from them..just wondering what everyone else's experience has been with them. I checked Rallysportdirect and Mach V...also World One but they don't carry them. For the three I was thinking...
    Boost - priced 154
    EGT - priced 194
    Oil Press - priced 233
    All three prices at ISP.com

    I plan on matching this with the defi 3x60mm gauge pod which was 133 at ISP(cheapest as well).

    Is there anything I'm missing in terms of setting this all up and also does anyone recommend different types of gauges(ie oil temp instead of oil pressure)? Thanks!

    w00t!!
    Also does anyone know what pod that is? It appears to be the autometer however I don't believe they make a 3 pod that will accomodate 60mm gauges. I like that design better than the Defi because of the size.

    I ordered some stuff from Istoreparts for my WRX and they shipped it quick and they had good prices.

    Pete...Get the auto-meter one. It looks nice and I think it has the capability to hold 60mm gauges.

    I know my autometer one can't hold 60mm ones.

    Once the gauges are in I will decide on the interior. I'll either go blue or purple led depending on what matches the gauges better 8)

    Also the autometers will only handle 52mm confirmed today :( That sucks because I really like that design better than the Defi.

    Got them installed today by Matt(Bikerboy) and they look great. This is the first time I had him install something and I'm very impressed with the quality of work done. We ran into one minor problem with the paint the shop told me to buy in that its a little on the grey side but that will get fixed soon probably when I get led's in the center section(stereo, ac controls, etc.). After seeing the gauges in the car I think I'm going to go with blue led's instead of purple. Plus the interior is already partially blue. Now we just need to figure out Dan's led tricks in the stereo :twisted:
