Gauges that matches OEM ones?
As the title says, been searching abit for gauges lately. And I was wondering if anyone makes gauges (boost, oil press and temp) with faces that matches OEM ones.. ie white needle, black face and amber numbers.

Rob >> Where? I didn't see any on their site.
OyvindRX-7 >> ProSport's 45mm Amber gauges can be adapted into an FC gauge cluster, and the coloring is very similar [when lit]. Sharingan has a thread about this [S4/5]
edit: though the best matching ones I've seen are old school HKS... But they're very rare and expensive :/

Prosports look pretty good; colors are close. They are well priced, ship fast, and don't work too well 
My oil pressure is off by 15psi (verified with mechanical) and the water temp is also off, but maybe around 5-7 degrees so no panic there.
I'm not the first to say the gauges are off... I've read the electronic oil pressure senders aren't the best. However, we do have old cars with old electric systems, so that's a likely issue.
My gauges haven't outright failed so as long as the needles are moving, I still use them.

I have Prosport EGT and Oil Temp gauges mounted in an A Pillar pod, and I've been pretty happy with them. Bought them in early 2011, so perhaps they got past the quality control issues mentioned in this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/interior-ext...gauges-678473/
Another thread not so negative on the Prosports: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...osport-936029/
However, Speedhut makes a pretty customizable gauge you should check out: Boost Gauge, Revolution Gauges Series by SpeedHut

I am trying to go the other way around, get black background, white faces, red needles on the stock gauge cluster. That means Ford Probe gen 1 needles, custom faces cut in plexi, sanded on the backside with black vinyl on the front with the white removed.

Just to clarify, the stock cluster will stay as is, I'm just after other gauges that MATCH the face of the OEM ones.. Seems like speedhut might be the way to go, but I want "metric" gauges, with pressure in bar or kg/m and temp in celcius, does speedhut offer this?
