Default Defi similar gauges

I was looking last night in the Group Buy forum and I found these Mad Dad LED guages.

ON


OFF


These gauges look amazing! I don't care that they don't sweep when yo uturn them on...And they are also $299 for three gauges! I want the same set-up in the pictures so it would be $420 for the pod and three gauges!

ANybody have other pictures or information about these. I am so tempted to buy them wihtout knowing much more than what was posted but can't come to do that.....

I also came across these gauges. The price ain't bad. I rather spend less than $420 for gauges and pod than the Defi package for over $800.

Anybody using these gauges? Info please...

i suppose since these gauges are used primarily as dress up and not performance, quality doesn't matter, but i figure i already spent 30K on a car, spending an additional 400$ (on top of what you'd pay for the mad dad) wouldn't kill me. but it does look strikingly similar and pretty good deal. no sense in not going for it! pics when installed please!

They look very similar to the defi's so I imagine quality is real good.

looks like the only difference is that they only come in 52mm, you can't record data, and that they don't sweep like the defi's, but if it saves me 400-500, i'm game. i'd rather spend that money on performance, they'll serve the purpose and match factory gauges, also i read something about a 2 year warranty.....someone correct me if i'm wrong

I've ordered these now as well. Should get them in the next couple weeks.

No, I don't think they give warning and peak.
