Default What Gauges match the best with the cluster?

I searched but did not come up with much. I put two on the a pillar.I bought the SOS pillar.And does anyone know if the SOS is a direct replacement or do i just put it over the oem one.If not what is the easiest way to get the OEM one off

Lets see some gauges

Let me go take a pic or two...

I personally like the Defi D-Series gauges...I was surprised I found them because NOBODY ever mentioned them here, it took me forever to find them. And these Defi's do not require a central unit...and they are electric, and amber lighting. I'll go take a couple pics right now and post them...you'll only get to see night color matching really but it looks great during the day too. Also, I used the Autometer pillar, it goes over the stock one, but it looks great. I believe SOS also goes over the stock one but am not positive on that. Personally I'd rather a direct replacement.

Lastly to get the OEM pillar cover off, pull near the top first, by the windshield...once you pop that button out there is one more in the middle then it just comes out.

I agree with you guys 100% on this one. I have a Defi boost D-gauge and I think it is the best match for our gauge cluster. A lot of people on here just go for the Defi BF guages, which are VERY nice, but I don't think they match as well. Plus, the D-gauges are cheap as hell.

I thought the same thing about the pointer thing...and then I grew to like it. I actually think it looks better now with the pointer thing.

and Windchaser...we have the same second gauge

Matches very good.I think im going to order oil pressure and i guess A/F kinda unsure about what to get for the second one.Car just has Intake,test pipe,catback.

Also What did everyone do that has a oil press gauge how did you hook the sensor up.I use to always T if off in my civic's but i had it break off.

I got the OEM pillar off.I just quickly put the SOS up there and it looks like it fit better with the OEM one still in place.There is only one screw that is suspose to hold the SOS pillar in and its at the top.Seems to me that it would be loose at the bottom.As where with the OEM under it would hold it in place firmly.Anyone with this pillar wanna shed some light
