Default Best Pillar gauges?

I was wondering what would be the best Pillar gauges for a 99 Black TA WS6? I would like them to be black faced and glow red at night pref... Matching the dash would be nice. If any of you knows who sales some nice ones that fit the description plz post link <3

I'd go with a set of Autometer Sport Comp gauges and put the included red bulb covers (condoms) over the lights. You can get a 2 or 3 gauge pillar pod and the gauges from Jegs.

I went with the Autometer Carbon Fiber with the red boot that goes over the bulb. While I don't have a night time pic there are some daytime ones in my sig.

I have Autometer Carbon also, Boost, A/F, Water Temp in the pillar and a 2 5/8" Fuel Pressure gauge in the AC vent to the left of the stearing wheel. Looks pretty sweet , I'll try to get some pics soon.

I notice most of the electrical guages are the partial sweep style. Are there any full sweep electrical guages by Autometer, etc.?

I did a comprehensive price comparison and found Summit to be more than $50 less than the nearest sponsor. I wish I could run out and take a night time pic but my crappy camera would not really give you a good idea of what it looks like. I will say that with the red boots on they do not shine as bright as the normal dash lights but enough to see them which is good. I wouldn't want bright lights that close to my eyes at night anyway.

I really like the Carbon Fiber myself. They have a brushed bezel and an aluminum pointer, and you can change the color as you wish.

But hey, it's your car, do what YOU think looks best!!!

I'll see about pics, but it'll be a while, since my car is in the shop about an hour from home!
