What do you think of different gauges together?

So last night I got some autometer gauges - a boost, EGT, AFR (narrow), oil pressure and fuel pressure. The problem is I bought them cause they were so cheap but I REALLY wanted the autometer cobalt series. Would it be weird to have my measurings be with lunar, and the speed/tach be in cobalt?

I've seen cars with no two alike in brand name gauges. I wouldnt be caught dead in a car like that. I'm OCD about my gauges matching.

I doubt it would look bad, but I wouldn't be able to look at it all day while driving.

It really comes down to what you think you could deal with, you'll be the one driving the car, right?

hey welcome to zdriver ahahha glad to have taken your post virginity. yeah I wouldn't mind it, I'm just trying to think would it be that weird? I wanted all full sweep mechanicals but when I realized that each gauge was 70-150....and i got 5 for 150...maybe i'll just sell a coupld of these and keep 2

the only way it won't look really bad is if it's in a different section. all the matching gauges on the right and the different one on the left.

i was actually thinking gasoline/air-related measurements would be the white gauges and speed/temperature related would be cobalt
