You may want to look into the new Ultra-Lite II's... the lighting is WAY better than the oldschool reflective edge-lit Autometers. The II's have illuminated numerals and pointers, much like modern cars.

I'd also skip the D-pic... it's more a gimmick than anything else. Oil temp would be a much better option in its place.

The 270 degree sweep electrical gauges are quite nice but they're often 3-4X the cost of the 90 degree sweep gauges.
