Honestly, go with OEM tach. It would look kinda tacky to have mis-matched gauges. You can find them for sale on the forum.

I was going to put a Defi tach with the shift lights and to match I have the NR white gauge faces. The only problem is the other gauges are amber. I then talked with black cat customs and they can do gauge covers in green to match. You would loose the beep but with a PFC that is allready lost. I never measured the OEM gauge to see if they had a matching size. Post pics if you do the project, i'd like to see it.

You can always go w/ another OEM cluster, same model or 99spec... or even Spirit R. And there are also Mazdaspeed, RE Amemiya, FEED, and Knightsports clusters too, all for about the price of a new tach from Mazda lol.
