need advice on gauges

i am looking into getting some air fuel, oil pressure, and water temperature gauges for my car. one thing i am specifically looking for are ones that match my indiglo gauges. does anyone know of any brands that glow blue in the background or indiglo blue gauges for these? does autometer make any that would glow blue? i do not want ones that glow white. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Get a white face autometer gauge and change the clear bulb to blue.

Dude, your car already has a water temperature gauge in it. It's the one to the left of the tachometer (on an 01-02, I don't know where it is on an 03).

at the Mid-Atlantic meet this weekend, I saw a couple triple-pod guage pillars. Most of them had Oil pressure, air-fuel, and boost guages.

yeah. don't double up on the gauges. . It's not necessary to add another temperature gauge if you still have your stock one. If one messes up you don't know which to trust. .

I hear air-fuel gauges are pretty useless, but I don't remember why, nor do I really know anything about that.
