I'm looking at gettin me some gauges and was wondering what has been found to be the closest match to the factory look? Someone told me that VDO's look better than AutoMeter.
What Gauges Match The 850 Best?

VDO's are "decent" gauges that look close to stock, but you'll like Autometer more...many options in color and style...get the black face for as close to stock as possible...i went away from stock with my Megan racing one off of yabe.

yeah, that black one is as close to stock as possible....i think popular favorites are the phantom series I think they're called...and I think there is some kind of lightweight thing too....

i really like how that pod looks!
i think you'll have to replace the whole pod to get a black face.
on another note, i swear the interior of my car is a much lighter grey than everyone elses.
