I would only get those gauges if I was seriously building up the engine for High horsepower performance or going Forced Induction. They are not necessary for everyday stock motor driving.
But If you want em for the aesthetics reasons...I would eigther get AC AUTOTECHNIC RACE EL gauges or the APEXi gauges. The APEXi's are 3x as much as the AC ones though. You can find both here @ http://wwwsplittingimagez.com . Thats where I ordered mine.

autometer gauges are well known, you could look at them, lots of them to be had on ebay for around 50 each even tho they are 80 retail. . .
electrical is a better way to go so you can mount them in your cabin, mechanical is meant for your engine bay and they cant look pretty there
also, listen to the other posters, dont bother with gauges unless you have some legitimate need for them

its all up to you man! Its personal taste and even $$$ concerns. Greddy and Apex make the best in my opinion. But they are also very expensive. I'm getting the AC Autotechnic ones because they match my Reverse Indiglo gauges.
