Default Gauges that match best to the WRX (Newage) Dash?

Which gauges would be best matched to the WRX Newage Dash?

I'm talking about the;
>black background
>white dials
>green dials on illumination
>grey/chrome type border
>red needles

For instance DEFI look like they only do Reds/blues but not greens (apart from the DIN set).

I have Prosport gauges:

Green Gauges- Prosport Gauges WRX Subaru gauges

They are a pretty good match, well priced and seem to be overall good value for money. Only downside is that they can be a bit 'bright' when lit up.

Will take some this weekend mate. Just need a battery for the digital camera. The ATI gauge pod fits really well and I think the dials look pretty close to standard fit. Would have preferred to have Defi gauges but they were just too expensive.

Thanxs guys, I think I'm leaning towards getting these Prosports, they seem to be offering the closest match and at an amicable price.

Are they only state side?
shipping/handling costs?

The bit about them being too bright, could this be solved by putting a dimmer/rheostat device in there?

Basically I went on to their web site, added everything I wanted to the basket including shipping to the UK. What I didn't think about was the import tax. Basically as they hit the UK our lovely customs people slap a further charge on to them and then pass the parcel to Parcel Force. You then have to pay them before they will release it. I think it cost me an extra £20 or so. Not a lot I know but you need to factor it in when doing your sums.
As for the brightness I have been thinking a similar thing. Might have a play around, though to be honest I'm probably just being a but fussy. No one else who has seem them has said anything.

Cheers,

Paul.

Hey Wilky Boy how long did it take for you to get your's? I had an email saying they shipped on the 1st but have heard nothing since.....

I know, I know I am impatient

Mate, they took about three weeks. I got the same e-mail saying they shipped on the 7th. So I was expecting them to hit the UK by around the 9th ( at the latest ). They didn't actually get here until the 17th, after which they were stuck in customs for a couple of days until they were released to Parcel Force. You can track the parcel via the US postal web site and reference number which they gave you ( USPS - The United States Postal Service (U.S. Postal Service) ). Hopefully the wait will be well worth it !!!
