Question Matching aftermarket to the Gauge Cluster

I have been briefly browsing around, but I'm in no hurry yet.

Might as well get the ball rolling now.

I'm looking to install aftermarket small gauges for Oil pressure, Oil temperature, and Coolant temperature.

I want a black face gauge with orange lettering, to try my best to match the stock gauge cluster. Or anything for that matter that resembles a stock look.

What have you guys come across? What do you recommend to match the stock gauges?

Contact these guys:

http://www.omorimeter.com

They seem willing to do custom work to match OE gauges. As for me, I'm going with Defi D-gauges, it's close enough for me. The backlighting is amber/orange.



Since I'm N/A, I obviously won't be getting a boost gauge, it's just the first picture I found.

The HKS old school gauges are a dead match. You will not find anything closer. Now the question is, where can one find 'em?

Haha, yeah, that's the problem. "Sometimes." How come you don't have a garage full of these? I'd buy 'em in a heartbeat.

Seriously though, other than online auction sites or private ads on forums, anybody ever seen these for sale?
