Default so i finally recieved AWEs center vent boost guage and the quality is very sub par....

got it and installed it and the vents are all crooked around the guage. it throws off the whole look of the dash because the lines of the vent dont match up with the other vent lines. i will post pics tonight of it. needless to say i didnt wait 6 weeks to recieve something that was shotty quality. im gonan call mike at AWE and see what he can do about it. but if they dont replace it i can assure you all i will never order anything from AWE again.

why didn't you DIY? a whole lot cheaper, and looks just as good.

Default that's really surprising based on previous accolades about the gauge from other

purchasers. Plus AWE makes quality products. Quality control issues do sometimes arise hence the warranty that AWE offers. I do suggest that you attempt to contact them before posting your gripes in the future, just a common courtesy and my $.02. If Mike/Todd fail to take action them I feel posting is warranted.

Default at least show us a picture of the product...don't just rant with no prove...

and then post again...double posting's pointless. I recently got my gauge from AWE and it looks great. Listen to SilverA4fun, call them first before you start posting about the problem.
