which color gauges to get

I know this is kinda a ricer question, but like I said in the title, which color to get? I am buying four prosport gauges for my car, and cant decide on the color. Amber to match the existing gauges, or blue because it is my favorite color. If I got blue gauges it would be easy to match to a turbo timer and headunit, but I would have to do something about my instrument cluster. Any advice fellas?

go with the white and get the Trustz Gauge Overlays and they'll match great. I can send you a pic of mine if you'd like. I've got the Premium electronic boost gauge from Prosport and I love it. Matches my dash perfectly....well almost.
Here's a pic of the overlays. You'll see the odometer is still that nasty amber color but there are guys on here who have changed the color of that as well.

Do they have a non-acd?

As for your Evo, sounds like you'll be happier with the blue. So, just go with that. DaFarmer69 is currently working on a changing the gauge cluster to LEDs and using different colors for the needles and background. So, that may work out for you. Give him a PM.

I believe he does. Just PM him. Screen name is Trustz he's got blue as well if you're looking to match Blue Defi gauges. Look up some of the threads he's started to see what he's got. By the way that's his screen name for Evom.

Well boys, I think I am going to listen to my inner ricer on this one. I am going to get the blue gauges, and the trustz blue overlay. I just love the color blue, and it is my car, so if anyone has a problem with it, I will have to lay the 24psi 4g63 smackdown on them!

For some reason I like as many colors as I can get so my Dash looks like a airplane cockpit

amber to match with stock gauges. blue is cool but would look out of place. but i guess you already have some blue gauges.

I'd get the same color as your OE dash gauges...I have a set of DEFI BF's with the white light and I am sorry that they don't match my dash.....it's annoying....it's easier to see them when they're the same color as your eyes don't have to adjust when looking at them quickly.......my dash is red and lights in the gauges are white and at night they seem to be in your face.....just my 2 cents
