Gauges: these vs. AC Autotechnic

I found these gauges on ebay. They look a lot like the AC Autotechnic ones. Which I can't find a picture of right now.

Gauges here

Anyone have the AC Autotechnic ones in their ride? I think the AC ones might look better than the ones on ebay . Any opinions?

Stock too boring for you? heh I don't like how they have the large donuts in the center. I wish only the borders and the numbers lit up.

Just the orange. . Doesn't match my deck. . heh. . Our gauges are pretty cool compared to most others though. . I really like the ones in the VWs, at least the color.

i like those AC ones. where can you get them. and just for an FYI, that picture is not of them on a civic, that looks like the BMW 5-series gauges with the average MPG gauge at the bottom.

Yeee. It was the only AC one I could find at the moment. So even though it's not from a Civic, you get a pretty good idea of what it looks like. I honestly don't know a good place to get them .. I've seen them on a few sites. . Usually about $30 - $40 . .

Just get regular blue/green gauges. They are crazy bright and will stand out. The reverse gauges don't look good in the daytime.

I got some AC Autotechnic ones for $45 from Razo in milpitas. They usually cost $50 but I got $5 off cuz they were open box.
