I have the Banks Dynofact and am happy with them. They match the factory guages farly well also. Are you aware that they only work with the Banks Six Gun?

I have the Sport comp II's. I like them but it took a while to get use to the bright led's in them. Check out my garage.

Hey Mlopez, Do you feel it mite be smart for me to get the LED Lighting Dimmer for them?

Do you have the banks 6 gun box? If not you will have to run banks programing. Not saying thats bad or not just saying thats what you will need.

Cool thing about autometer is that they have a ton of different styles. I actually just bought a cobalt series. check out autometers website.....they have videos and the whole 9 yards and lotsa pics of thier gauges. Sport comp(as is all of thier stuff) is good stuff IMO but auto meter is proud of thier gauges. The LED autometers or series like the cobalt or lunar offer nicer lighting than the incandesent version like the sport comp and such

If you want the closest to possible factory look though IMO Dipricol black face are about a spot on match. Good gauges and great lighting(looks like factory)

If you would like for them to be about the same lighting as your stock guages, I would. Mine took a little while to get use to. You kind of have a blind spot there with the bright lights.

Check my garage for my SPII's on the A pillar...close enough to the factory for me. LED levels didn't bother me very much so I didn't go with the dimmer option.
