Default Installed my AWE vent mount boost gauge today and I have mixed reviews..
First of all the install was pretty easy and the instructions were very good.

The gauge works very well and looks great during the day but I just tested it out at night and it looks pretty bad. The light around the -30 is much more dim than the rest of the unit.

I have searched and found that it seems EVERYONE has this problem.

This was not an inexpensive unit and I really don't think its fair that I have to live with it like this.

I will definitely be taling to AWE on Monday.

Any opinions from others are welcome....

I have to come check out your car one day. It's good to see that the repair went well.

You offer of a ride still open??
