So what's your question? Those gauges will work and are pretty simple to hook up. Just don't tap directly into the VSS for the speedo like they will tell you to do, I did it and it made the transmission shift funny. I switched it to the speed signal coming out of the PCM and it works perfect now.
Speedhut also makes a GPS speedo. I like it a lot. Was easy to fit to my Miata dash and simple to wire up. Has a lot of functions too! With the matching Tach I was still cheeper than the conversion box one of the swap kit makers tried to push me into.
I would go with the SpeedHut CANBUS gauges as well. For $600 you can't beat it. Just plug the first gauge into your OBDII port and then daisy chain all the other gauges off of the first. No sensors to install, no wiring to tap, really simple and clean.
