Default guages to match NBS GMC interior

Looking for some gauges that till light up in the teal color to somewhat match my 2003 gmc sierra denali 1500. I will need boost, fuel pressure, AFR, and possibly trans temp. Any suggestions/pics of gauges that will look good? Plan to use the socaldiesel mount for 2 and put the others down where the disc changer used to be.
Thanks

How do you all think the cobalt gauges would look? Pics seem like they would match alright...

From the pics, the Cobalt gauges are bluer than the Denali, plus the numbers are italicized like SS gauges. I have an Autometer vacuum gauge which has the regular bulb that you can change the colored condoms on, and I took a green one, and hit it with a blue marker and got it to match my Denali gauges pretty closely. I have since changed it to a straight blue condom as I'm going for a more bluer theme, but if the guages that you need have the same old school bulbs in them, you can buy the different colored covers and mess with them until you get them to match. It took me all of 5 minutes when I did mine Almost forgot, the needle is a darker orange than the Denali needles, not sure if that's an issue for you.

Issopro has some gauges that are made to match the gauges of the nnbs trucks which is close to the same color as the denali backlight. Why do you need trans temp when you've got it in the cluster?
