pics - NEW gauges spotted - PERFECT REVERSE Indiglo
Sweet, these are the ones everyone wanted I believe.
I've e-mailed him on the availability of the other styles including 86-88 NA, 86-88 TII, and 89-91 TII
I'd imagine his website will take orders as well:

hmm..
looks like another seller has these new 86-88 NA style ones. Their website www.sr-motorsports.com doesn't list the gagues, but they might sell them if you e-mail them:
Update: Spotted the 86-88 Turbo ones as well in this style. I've linked the correct pictures as well.

It's to bad that these can't be used on Canadian FC's. Yours are metric where ares are not.
i.e The problem Is with the Speedometer. Where yours displays 80mph ours would be 120 kilometres. It seems that the Reverse glows are direct overlap.
I'm pretty sure on this but If I were to use these the Speedometer readings would be skewed, or off center ,right?

Aaron and I were discussing this and I concluded that the reverse Indiglos would not work on our cars. It seems that your readings are In mph whereas ours are In kilometeres. i.e at your 80 mph our needle would be lined up at 120 kilometers. So they can't be used, right? Aaron seems to think that they can be used. I dunno. What do you think?
Also, has anyone seen these In kilometeres, rather than mph?

Most newer cars have both Empirial and Metric markings. US cars have the Empirial (MPH) numbers on the outside of the ring and larger, and the Metric (KPH) on the inside in a smaller font. Canadian cars are the other way around. Actually, I think your best bet is to buy a sheet of electro-luminescent material and print your own gauge faces. The sheets run around $100US, but you will have your very own, customized gauge faces (could even have photos on them) to show off.

If you buy a sheet of white electro-luminescent, you have two options. Print directly on the sheet using the transparency mode, or print on a transperancy and affix it to the sheet. You can use what ever color your printer will make that way. Or you can buy the color sheet you want and print the areas you don't want lit in black.

Thanks for the suggestions but I really don't want to go through the trouble of this. I may opt to just go empirical like the US has them. I am beginning to think that there will be no problem with this. I thought by overlapping the empirical ones with mine that there would be some offsetting or skewing of the light beaming through but I have concluded that the reverse Indiglo has a seperate light source which shouldn't be a problem. Prove me wrong If I am Indeed wrong.

from what some are saying...the "Reverse Indiglo" are hard to read at night. is there truth to that? or is there a specific one sold that sucks at night? i want to get the white face gauges, but dont want something that will suck *** at night. anyone with some feedback on actual indiglo in their cars? also with a site that sells the ones that dont suck?

I wonder how the needles show up against those at night??? Anyone have installed pictures or reverse indiglo at night with the factory needles? If not, can new light up needles be bought?
I always love you GOT RICE guys. First of all, these aren't rice. In fact, they look (the first ones posted) like most OEM guages equiped on cars today. Perhaps some people, like myself, don't enjoy semi backlit/front lit gauges. And if anything, we as RX7 owners have the most rice cars of anyone. *Picturing* small Japanese man building the motor in my car 13 years ago. Then you'll say, but Honda guys put those on their cars. Yeah and they put cd players and such in them too. Is a new CD deck rice??? Or do we have to live with a tape deck forever? They also put rims on cars as well. Hell, better take my aftermarkts off and put the ol' heavy *** stockers back on. Don't want to be ricey.
Here is a list of what is rice:
-Stickers (non contingency, of course)
-Neon lights (washers, wheel, underside)
-Wings over the roof on a FWD car (if you road race u're rx then I'd say you're allowed to have one)
-Cut springs
-3" exhaust on an NA 4 banger
-Combat stlye body kits
-PVC rollcage (my personal favorite)
just to name a few.

The first set is designed to work with the stock gague needles...in fact they say you don't have to remove the needles to install them. I'll let you nkow how they are after they're installed (when I get around to it).

Would anyone be intertested in going in on a group buy one some gauges like these, speedhut.com will make custom gauges if we can get 20 people together.
Oh, and i'm talking about making reverse indiglo gauges like the first ones posted, but for s4 instead of s5. I think the first ones have a real quality look to them, makes the gauges look sophisticated not RICEY!
The other suggestion i had was to inquire about gauges that are reverse indiglo (the numbers glow not the face) but have a black face, and really vivid bright red numbers, like the new AUDIs.. I dont know if you guys have seen the audi gauges, but they look AWESOME. also, the numbers could show up white on a black background during day, and bright red at night, very cool.
so i guess im asking if i could get 20 people to go in on a group buy?
