i have racetech gauges for oil temp/pressure and water temp. they are imo plane and close to the standard looking clocks in the car colour and lighting wise. as my pillars are grey i opted for a 30psi autogauges boost gauge which is white, and a 19 led afr monitor also from racetech.all not too pricey.
