Default Best matching Gauges

I'm doing a turbo setup for my car, and I'm looking for gauges that best match the stock GSR gauge cluster. I was thinking VDO might have the best match:



But then again, I'm new to honda's so I don't know if there are any better matching gauges. Also, I don't want to change my cluster face to make it match better.

I dont think you should worry about "what looks good" , but focus on whats going to work the best. DEFI and Blox have some of the best gauges in the market and I would start there.

Well that was a given. I don't need anything super like a digital boost gauge that has it's own controller for boost as well as lighting. I just want something simple that matches my dash. I'm a big OEM look person.

And the 1000cc injectors are there for when I do build a block.

I'd get a white light to match the stock dash. Any input or ideas?

I used some by Autometer...I can't remember the model but they match great with the stock cluster. I have a bezel that has gauges in the ring around the stock cluster o00o

Here's my boost gauge for my budget setup on an LS. The backlight is white (you stated that you wanted white in your other post).
