They tried to deliver mine today while i was at work. I have to leave a note now telling them to leave it :blackeye:
 
Christine you have an E0, correct? The E0's have a different dashboard, don't they have a small round trim lip at the bottom of the A-Pillar? I'm sure that's why it's fitting a little oddly with the stock trim in there.

Still on shipping confirmation email.
I clicked the link on the Order confirmation email to check the status and it says STATUS UNKNOWN
WTF is that ???
 
UPDATE:
I emailed Lotek and anyone who ordered a tan pillar it will be delayed. He told me they are waiting for the paint to come in and that mine should ship within 2-3 days.

What makes them garbage?:confused:

I know Autometer is a big name, but a lot of people would never swear by them.:shrug:

Not 100% accurate - i.e. bad calibration.

There was a study done on many of the major automotive gauge brands, probably 6-9 months ago. I will see if I can troll google and find it. But the gist of it, you get what you pay for.

Autometer is a big name, but personally I think they are junk also, by first hand experience of gauges being inaccurate.
granted you don't "need" 100% accuracy, but it is sure nice to have.

I'm also not referring to gauges like volt/AF etc..(the brinky rite AF gauge is junk no matter the brand)
I am talking about gauges that come into play as major tuning and monitoring devices. Boost/EGT/OP/WP/FP etc.

Like I said, its personal choice and budget allowance. Personally if I had my pick I would buy DEFI Gauges. But my budget doesn't allow for it.. or rather I'm not going to spend $800-1000 on 3 gauges and a control system for a contour. :)
In which case 3 Autometer gauges at $250 will be good enough for me.


EDIT: Here is a setup showing what you can have with Defi gauges...
