Prosport Premium vs. Performance clear lens gauges

I'm looking to get boost/vac and water temp. gauges for my car and it seems that Prosport has the best options. I'm now trying to decide between the Premium series (specifically the blue/white LED version) and the Performance clear lens series. The Performance looks a lot nicer to me, but I'm not sure about the white LEDs. I think I want blue LEDs, but if the whites look ok then I'd rather have the Performance version.

Does anyone have any pics of these in their car, at night and during the day?

Here are the gauges I'm talking about:
Performance clear lens: http://prosportgauges.com/clear-lens...ce-series.aspx
Premium: http://prosportgauges.com/premium-se...hite-52mm.aspx

I'd also like to see pics of their EVO series. Those have a digital display and they look mighty fine as well.

Thanks!

I'd love a boost (optional), wideband (optional), proper coolant temp, oil temp and oil pressure in my car like I do in my race car. where do people mount their stuff? Are there any options that match the factory orange backlight?

God I miss the days of REAL, proper gauges in cars.

Pricey, but this would be **** if the gauge colors were OEM

Sorry I can't help with pics, but I really do like those premiums. Less in your face than my straight LED readouts.
They would match perfectly with the blue LED dash light mod.

There's a blue LED dash light mod? Do tell.
