those stock gauges are about 38-42mm...omori 45mm gauges come close to fitting

no vdo will fit unless you take a dremel to the panel

52mm is the smaller of the sizes they offer

and this thread is five years old

Prosport match perfectly.

White for daytime driving which is nice, and at night they match the gauges perfectly once you turn the lights on.

defi gauges match PERFECT !... but they are very pricey $$$... I ended up selling mine, because I realized that I did not want to pay so much for gauges and I plan to run more than just 28 psi on my car when it's properly built...so that boost gauge would be no good for me... other than the fact that it looks badass!
