Need help on what guages to get?

I'm trying to find some gauges that match my orginal guages:


Black face with orange lighting...

I've looked at AEM, defi, autometer, innovative, and glowshift. The only ones i've found that match it best to my gauges are the defi racer and the glowshifts that have the 7 color changing backlights when in orange. I like the defi gauges, but dont want to spend that much. I like autometer and prefer them. I was thinking of going with the ultra lite 2s but they dont match perfectly.

Anybody familiar with glowshift? They seem to be a cheaper gauge...

Anybody know of some other guages that could possibly match with what i'm looking for? Or am I just being ****

All opinions welcome

I contact the guy from http://www.customgaugefaces.com/index.htm and he hooked me up with exactly what I wanted. It wasn't "cheap" cheap but it wasn't a pain in the pocket either. Send him an email and he will work with you. Don't worry the RX-7's are not listed on his site but he still does them. Remember anything you can imagine he can make so don't limit it to stock.

I did black face with custom fonts, custom wording, actual tach numbers, the actual redline of my LS1, made anything over 75mph red since it is illegal in the USA anyway, and much more.

Very cool! Thats not what i'm looking for though. I should've made myself more clear. I'm trying to find boost/wideband/oil/etc guages that look exactly like my original gauge above(black face with orange lighting) so it all matches. Thank you though!

Haven't been able to use them yet . They look very well constructed and great quality though. I really like them even though I haven't even used them lol. Still waiting on some things to get the car going again. Should be up and going soon though. I'll have a build thread up soon.

I know you aren't looking to redo the stock gauges, but i got a set from this guy, very modified for a good price. check out the final sample i received before i purchased them.
