I see that the korean cars do not have airbags.. and technically, you could do that to our cars.. that was the I 4 beta they were working on.

Defi Gauges are great, David had them in his RD.

Damn, that looks fantastic. I'd be so paranoid that I'd not get them even.

Great job there. I might have to remember that.

I like it. Definitely love the gauges. I wish we could get those style of gauges for the RD gauge cluster.

we do have the option. they're on K-Spec.com right now.

You can buy them on K-Spec, but they're overpriced as everything is on K-Spec IMO. They also now come stock on the 07 Azera.

The guages are nt well positionned...driver can't see them properly while driving...

I have doubts about the location of the oil temp probe...usually placed in the oil pan for a good reading.

Boost guage on an n/a car....

That's sort of a blanket statement. Lots of our stuff is cheaper than you can get anywhere. Unfortunately, items like Defi are imported from other countries, then exported to you. So yes, they are VERY expensive.

I agree, it'd probably be annoying to have to ask the passenger what your boost, oil temp, oil pressure, and water temp are all the time tongue.gif

Other than that, it looks pretty cool as far as asthetics.

I didn't think those gauges on kspec were like these how they are all black when off.
