Default Red digital gauges, who makes them?

Im looking for 2 1/16 red digital gauges for my dual pod, and i know that dynotune and cyberdyne make them. Like the dynotune ones, but the fuel pressure guage is a lil pricey, and cyberdyne im not thrilled with the air/fuel guage...so just wondering if anyone else knows of any red digital guages that are out there. Thanks!

I've bought the Nordskog brand from Summit a while back. It's been working great for 5 years and they have great customer service if you have any questions.

If you want to save money. Autometer Phantom makes the white face black bezel guages of every kind.. And the guage comes with colored caps. Pull the light of the back of the guage (just twist and pull easily).. Put on the red colored cap that comes with the guage, put it back in, and you have yourself a red guage.. I ran nitrous,fuel pressure and wideband that way.. Looked DEAD on with factory red guages...

Another fan of Nordskog.

I took it a step further and redid my entire gauge cluster with Nordskog Red digital gauges. Here's a couple quick & crappy shots I took of them a couple days ago (because someone else didn't believe I redid my dash):




Actually, you can't see them, but I've got four more gauges (not pictured)- oil temp and trans temp gauges in that "cassette holder" area, and a intake air temp & A/R gauge in a dual overhead gauge pod. I need to clean this up a little, but you get the idea, even with the crappy pics. Nordskog is, by far, my favorite digital gauge company. Although you can't see them in the picture (because the car wasn't running), the speedo and tach have a "wrap-around" LED bar that lights up depending on your speed and RPM. With the speedo, the LED's light up with each 5mph increase, and the tach lights up with every 300rpm increase. Real cool to see in person! Maybe one of these days, once I've got her running right, I'll make a video of it...

Also, the same guy who fabbed the stainless steel gauge cluster mounting panel is also fabbing up some stainless decorative "cover" plates to go over the headlight & HVAC controls, too. In case you're wondering, all my dummy lights are LEDs, the turn signals and high beams are LED "cluster" bulbs, and if you notice the first image...yes, that's a built-in Autometer "Quick-lite" Shift Light...

I just might do that. I wanted to tear back into it anyways to clean my wiring job up a bit in there...

Also, BTW, what's cool about Nordskog gauges is, you can get them in red, blue, green, or amber...
