After market gauges
Anyone have a lead on some factory looking gauges? I have a knightsport fc boost gauge that matches my fb gauges almost perfectly. Just wondering what everyone else is running.
I guess a factory styled electronic full sweep anolog with warning features is too much to ask for. xD

I'm currently using Defi for my two gauges -- oil press and fuel press. They're the old style that didn't require a boost controller. They have a repostionable pointer that fits over the bezel, like on Swiss watches, which is a nice feature. Seem to be well made, with solid transducers, harnesses, and connectors.
I've heard a lot of good things about these gauges too: http://www.speedhut.com/gauges/
I'm told the range of customization is even greater if you call them directly.
If you are considering mounting them on the A-pillar, I used this --> http://www.gaugepods.com/mazda.html
Keep us posted on what you decide.

I chose the AEM gauges, they are back lit the color orange which matches the orange back lighting on the original gauges. I bought a couple of bezels off ebay and cut and grafted them together with 5 minute epoxy and then filled and shaped with bondo. I was able to find a silver/grey color spray paint that is pretty close to the original bezel color and painted the bezel and the shift surround plate to match. I think the most important part to making after market gauges look stock is in how you mount them.
