glow shift and new vintage are NO where near the same...
just cause you've never heard of them doesn't mean they are some cheap company like glow shift (i had a fuel pressure gauge form them)

also Stewart warner gauges are really good too.

i actually prefer the ultra 2s and the sport-2s over the cobalt cause i dont really care for the blue glow... it reminds me of a night club or something...

Both are the same gauge set with different cosmetic treatments. I believe both have a 1 year warranty. Decent product, it all depends on what you theme is. I'm not a fan of white face gauges though, even though we build a ton of them.

Scott,
I was wondering if you could give me the low down on the shift light?
I want one to go on top of my 5" sport comp two's for my 67.
Can you set it for different gears/RPM??
The dealer I bought the rest of my gauges was a little unsure.
Thanks for your help.
Kevin

Here's a shot, hope it helps.

Badass.
Just gotta really appreciate the THROUGH the gauge LED illumination
VS the AROUND the gauge illumination. So muuuuuuuch nicer
BTW what is that lower left gauge ?? Diggin the A/F gauge in there as well.

I wish Autometer made a 3 3/8" quad gauge for the 3rd gauge hole in the Cutlass.
I'd be all over these for my 2nd makeover.

Hey Creepy Dude, lower left gauge is a Wideband O2 sensor gauge

You mean unique shift points for what gear you're in?

Thanks for all the pics and replies. I originally wanted to go with the Ultra lite II guages and then had thoughts of the Cobalts. After looking at all the pics I think I like the Ultra lite IIs. My car is blue and my stereo glows blue with the cobalts it would be too much. I have the old Ultra lites now and I like them exept at night but the IIs look great at night and the silver faces in the day look great as well.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet ride Scott.
