I have DIY digital wideband and volt meters where the boost gauge was and it fits with my blue and red theme pretty well I think
All depends what look you're going for TBH.
not my cup of tea but each to their own sheppy wrote:
yeah i just mean that the rest are needles and the boost gauge is digital, for me it takes away the retro JDMness.

Doesn't really matter too much as the clocks are still symmetrical.
yeah, would be amazing if you could get a speedo, rev counter, fuel and temp gauge to match it, the dash would look amazing

And a full set of EMS style gauges wouldn't take away the retro jdm ness?

you won't get any neater than this, the omori ones look crap by comparison.
What!?
Nothing wrong with a neat Omori
the r-spec one looks near enough OEM.

.. that yellow needle would do my nut in!

Combining white faces with chrome rings and a black EMS gauge, you'll just be highlighting the fact that the gauges are different colours. Imagine this, but with rings highlighting that some of the gauges are black and some are white:
I think the massive blue/green backlight looks tacky with the normal EL-glow (which is my personal preference which you don't have to share) and with reverse EL-glow there's a period around twilight when you've got your lights on and your gauges become difficult to read because the luminosity of the EL glow matches the dim light being reflected by the white face. Well, that and they then matched my Defis and looked almost as if it could have come out of the factory like that (which is the level of neatness I aim for with my interior)

I've got a set of white trd speedhuts if you are interested? They are n/a but if you are using a different boost gauge then it won't matter.
Lights up blue or green and has a dimmer.
Thanks for the offer though mate.shinny wrote:

It's just my opinion, so don't please take offence, but that sounds awful to me.
However it's your car, so feel free to prove me wrong
My dials are speedhut white dials, I've had Lockwood dials before and thought they just looked cheap.shinny wrote:So am I.
needle WOULD NOT come off no matter how hard i tried
