After Defi, what is the next best gauge manufacturer?
Just like the subject says. What's the next best gauge?
Now, the second part of that question, What gauges, outside of Autometer, match the interior color of our car (orange/red backlit numbers), are 52mm, and read in PSI? Do any?? I can't seem to find any. Omori is available in PSI, but the orange or red backlit numbers are only available for the metric gauges.
If it matters, I'm specifically speaking of boost gauges.

Black face, psi, white numerals/orange lighting - almost a perfect match for the 3rd gen gauges. I also sent mine in to SPI to have the needle changed to red, as that mine was white. Also have a water temp gauge as well. See the RX7 store for prices/pics, and I will take pics of the actual units myself.

SPI are very well made - and I happen to have a new one for sale! No longer made though, as that SPI is pushing the DEFI line (they are the dist) along with Apexi

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
those gauges are weird. in the boost gauge's case, one notch equals 1.25 psi. HUH?!
see what i mean?? they look cool though, and have a cool little moveable marker on the bezel.

Oh well, I just bought some SPI gauges anyway. I would have purchased the Defi link system if they could just put the freggin orange back light in them.
Oh, and thanks for the reply! Glad you thought of this post after seeing their site.
