Don't get stuck with a standard looking dashboard like this

Everyone loves a great looking car, especially when everything looks like it has an extra dose of style. Performance gauges can add style like no other accessory. They can make your vehicle’s interior pop while enhancing the functionality of your dash so you can keep an eye on performance and the vital signs of your vehicle. Automotive performance gauges can be found in everything from your friend’s truck to a hot rod to a race car. Performance gauges make any car look universally appealing and custom.

If you have ever wanted to make your car look just a bit cooler, your gauges are not working or have wondered what exactly a performance gauge is, then look no further. Below are some facts about performance dash gauges, tips on installing aftermarket performance gauges and more.


What are Performance Gauges
Every car comes with auto gauges but if you want to separate yourself from the pack or if your speedometer is not working, then it would be good to consider an aftermarket auto gauge. They enhance the functionality of dash gauges and allow you to monitor vital statistics like pressure and boost and keep an eye on functions like temperature and fuel level.

Autometer gauges are some of the best out there

The best aftermarket speedometers that we recommend are those that are made by Autometer. They not only produce great aftermarket speedometers but they also have the capability of making custom gauges. Since 1957, Autometer competition instruments are the first choice of top professional drag racers, circle track and off-road race teams. But, even though the professionals use them it doesn’t mean that you can’t use them too. They can be on anything from your truck to the hot rod around the corner or even off-shore boats sailing the coast. With a variety of different kinds of gauges and the ability to customize how you want your gauge to look, Autometer is one of the best in the industry.

Gauge Face Kit

Gauges are a great way to add personality 

One of the more popular types of performance gauges is the gauge face kit. Instead of completely replacing your factory-installed instrument panel, many people choose to install gauge face kits which are made incredibly thin and are an overlay so they don’t get in the way of your needles. Many are custom-fitted to mount exactly onto your specific year, make and model of vehicle.

This kind of customization also involves removing the instrument cluster to mount the new overlay but will come with detailed instructions for the installation. Instead of completely replacing your old gauges you have the ability of just covering them up with something that looks much better.

Installing Gauges
Auto gauge replacement doesn’t have to be complicated and can be done at home with basic tech knowledge about the dashboard or we recommend taking it to a shop for installation. Typically installing dash gauges involves removing the dashboard and rewiring everything so it’s reading properly. Depending on the number of gauges you are installing and what kind of gauge you are installing, the amount of time it will take can differ. With this gauge replacement you are able to add style and personality to what is normally considered a boring part of the vehicle, even though you look at it constantly.

Take it from us, no one likes a boring speedometer. To add a ‘cool factor’ and give your dashboard personality or if you are looking to replace your broken speedometer, look into getting it changed with a performance gauge. Replacing your auto gauge is considered one of the best and least expensive changes you can make to your vehicle and add to its performance.
