Or if they are just extensions of their current pos line up?
yeah they are a bit late...but
they have alot of things that the jap gauges dont do which is impressive.
I would consider them if they were not so damn expensive.

Fuk that... I want enough gauges to light up a christmas tree! But yea, Omori gauges are very simple for the most part and are made to match FACTORY gauges. However, they are very high quality and very accurate. I'd rather have an accurate plain looking gauge than a indiglo, fancy looking, inaccurate autometer gauge.

i'll never buy an autometer gauge again. I got one before my vdo boost gauge and it read 5psi without even being hooked up to the car.

true, however there standard line of gauges suck big time. Alot of there boost gauges are extremely inaccurate, there egt gauges suck because the utilize shitty temp probes that are not fast acting and burn up easily. All in all there quality is not that great. These new gauges on the other hand seem not to have these problems, they better not if they cost that damn much.

Wanting something to look nice and perform is not ricey

Do you realize that every kid with a stock honda civic with exhaust has a a/f guage and a volt gauge from autometer? Thats why they are the biggest seller in the US. O wait... that and they pretty much have a monopoly on the US made performance gauge market. Bottom like is their gauges are crap for the most part. Their top of the line stuff is alrite tho... but the sport comp shit is just that......... shit
