Gauges to keep an eye on my engine

I want to get A/F, Boost, and Oil Press gauge for my evo so i can install my boost controller and make sure she's in the good. i also have some green accessory bulbs through out the car from light triks.... flame or not. i was thinking of using autometer sport comp 2 based on great pricing for an accurate gauge. or my buddy who is all about look is using Glow Shift gauges which look better than any i've seen but have no idea how accurate they are.
anyone have tips as far as getting a GOOD gauge with a green backlight for under 100 per?

Can't you change the light bulbs/colors with most gauges? I know you can change SW. Prosport gauges get decent reviews and they are cheap!

i'm not sure i would guess but i've only been around autometers and those glowshifts which seem like kmart specials. i have an autometer sportcomp and the green led doesnt shine through the numbers well...

Look at the Prosport gauges, they have green gauge setups that are very bright and very accurate! Not sure if it has the peak hold and warning function though? PM Ultimate CC he'll hook you up.

Get Stewart Warner Gauges...much cleaner looking than glowshift or autometer and very very accurate here. You can also buy the LED from that site...they offer them in green. For $60 there is NO better gauge.
