I had a set of VDO gauges on the WRX I used to have, would match perfectly, black background green lighting with red/orange needle. When I install gauges I will either get a set of VDO or autometer GS series gauges.

I would most definitely go the Greddy, not to mention that the VDO gauge looks like it would break apart from any slight impact.

VDO makes the stock gauges for BMW. ;) (Lots of the BMW guys use them for monitoring their cars with aftermarket goodies.)

Hmm Thank you for proving me wrong, do they come with a green backlight and don't you also drive a bmw now?

I've got a VDO boost gauge I've had for YEARS that has never done me wrong.

As a matter of fact, I also have an Autometer that has slowly gone inaccurate - at normal atmo pressure, it reads like 1-2psi.

VDO sits dead on the zero.

I loved the old style GReddy gauges (the ones that match stock damn near perfectly), really a shame they changed them.
