Need help choosing gauges

Anyone have any advice as to what gauges I should get? As far as asthetics I like the look of the Defi gauges, but dunno about the quality. I've attached a couple pics showing the Defi guages(1st pic) + the look Im going for(2nd pic). The arrows in the second pic ipoint to the one piece trim im looking for. Where can I find the part# of the plactic trim? Im assuming this person bought that trim and fabricated it to fit the gauges. Thanks in advance for your help.

Wow...I never knew gauges can get so pricey. I was pricing out a kit with 3 gauges and it came to roughly $1000!

Person in the picture has the heated seats option but moved it to the armrest.
Turbo gauge in left airvent from rixeffects is also very nice and looks stock.

Well that was obvious, but Im sure he had used another trim piece that didnt have the heated seat option to mount the gauges on.

Not really a fan of the airvent gauge. Looking to do the three gauge look like the second pic if it isn't too pricey or just a simple boost gauge using rixeffects original gauge pod on the dash.

I also found these gauges called CorSport. They are only $69/gauge. I realize "you get what you pay for", but do I really need to go that high end or will these CorSport guages do just fine?
