I like the amber gauges and I think they might be coming back is style. The new G35 has factory amber gauges also, so hopefully we will be able to start finding more aftermarket gauges in amber.

Can a universal sensor be used for the old school hks gauges? I really wanna get that temp gauge working. BTW the hks boost gauge I have is in bar and electric.

idunno about you guys but gauge clutter is a major issue with me

these don't match the stock cluster but they're DUAL Digital gauges:
SPA Technique

http://www.spatechnique.com/dualgauges/tachometers.htm

If/when I get gauges, this is what I'm going with
they have A LOT of good features that other JDM gauges have as well
peak warning, peak hold, you can even use them to signal other parts of your car
(i.e. use water temp to turn on electric fan once it hits a certain temp #)

Alot of the aftermarket gauges are "Amber Red" and our factoy gauges more of a Amber Orange (they are also amber orange in the G35). I guess amber red is pretty close but it would be nice to see more of a amber orange.

actually it depends what cluster you have, i know that there are 2 different shades of amber on our FC clusters, theres a light amber orage one, and ive also seen a darker amber red one. not too sure on the specific years they come on though.

S4 clusters (86-88) are a darker orange/red color.
S5 clusters (89-91) have a some light orange/yellow color.

it's probably a civic and none of the gauges are hooked up, haha. J/k but that does look just a tad over done
