yes, they really make the cluster fancy. They sort of simulate the 03 stock cluster

(i don't have them; i looked at the pics)

Too bad the "C" and the "E" are backwards. They look ugly during the day but great at night.

I think they would look better during the day once they are installed. If you look, the letteres/numbers kinda wrap around almost, unlike our gauges....

I think they are cool.

I also looked into the gauges. But, I think I am going to wait till someone from the site purchases them and reviews the quality of them. For 90 bucks, I want to be assured that it is quality crap.

Maybe they were trying to reach out to the dyslexic(SP?) customer.

BEWARE!!! I bought those for and had them installed for cheap given than i'd let the guys who installed them take pictures for ebay purposes. They installed it and the damn gauge is off by 1000 rpms. I was going 5000 rmp at 80 mph. The redline section is off by 1000. I can't really describe it and I dun have pics, but our RPM gauges go from 1000-8000, 7000-8000 being red line. In the AC gauges, it goes from 1000-8000, and then the redline section follows after, so its all thrown off. Don't get it yet, AC has to redo their stock.

AC S7 Gauges for AT


AC S7 Gauges for MT

^ there's links for pictures of the actual gauges from Autodynamic ^

They're damned sexy gauges, but for $100, I don't know. I'd really like to know if the 03 gauges will bolt right into an 01. That's a damned tempting swap and I might be able to get a new cluster for somewhat cheap.

Hey, I appreciate the warning and all but I think that the people that installed them accidently moved your needles. If you look in the DIY, its very easy to bump the needles out of place.

Now I'm torn, I had finally made up my mind to get them and now I'm not sure again....Should I just go with the basic Ebay ones?

Um...they did not screw up the needles...the redline section was off by 1000 rmps. It was a error made by AC and the auto shop called AC and confirmed it even. Heed my warning, and unless AC already fixed the problem, dont' get it.

Look at the "7"........it is red.....this marks the Redline, not the hash marks at the end.

Thank you!!

Ive been posting questions about that issue since these gauges came out & nobody pays any attention. I dont know how they could mass produce such a big defect like that, youd think theyd of caught it while it was still on the drawing board WTF?? Like they didnt bother to look at the MTs & just took off the gear indicator from the ATs & sold it as MT. Thats just half assed if you ask me

Listen to the sound of your car.
Learn what it sounds like before replacing the gauges and you won't need a tach.

Yeah, im really glad I decided not to get them. I ended up finding some very nice ebay ones that should be here any day now. Ill post pics when I get them installed, though it might be a while cause I will be dropping my car off at the shop soon to have it fixed.

Have you all not looked at the guages at all? The redline is not off. It starts it at 6800rpm just like stock. Look at where it turns from blue to the red dot.
