autometer sport/comp, maybe not as accurate as more expensive ones but they matched the inside well.

AutoMeter Nexus allows you to select and orange colour scheme which matches the stock gauges very well...

only on ebay when they are available. I got my 60mm oil temp and boost gauge. They are identical to factory color gauges and even the white needle.

No, mine were from a private seller about three months ago. I know which ones you are talking about. Those sold for pretty high. I paid 150 for mine together.

I know! They were a little faded and chipped around the rim so I masked off the glass and painted them flat black. They look GOOD.
