Real autometer gauges or fake?

Are these real or fake autometer gauges?

The pictures are not of authentic Auto Meter products to the best of my knowledge. A real one from the Carbon Fiber series would look like this.

Edit: Check the classifieds on this site, or try eBay to get a better price on an Auto Meter or other high quality gauge.

+2, they do seem fake, unless someone here has one and can verify if they are accurate or not?

Yes the CF autometer gauges are great.Its autometer,come on.

I had the one posted in post 2.But it didnt have enough numbers for boost,so I got a 30-30.

That whole ad is a wreck. The header says "carbon fiber" but the description says "Auto Meter Ultra-Lite", which is a silver face gauge. And the image and part number are not that of an Autometer product. I'd steer clear.

When searching for Autometer gauges, it's best to search for the part number to be sure you're getting what you want. Autometer's 2-1/6" mechanical 30/30 boost gauge is part number 4703. So if you search "autometer 4703" on Amazon, you'll find the legitimate and correct product.

Everything from Auto Meter will have a 4 digit part number attached to it. Anything other than that should be considered a fake. In this case you paid to do your research and ask questions. Good for you my friend!
