Re: Is there an aftermaket gauge panel?

Why not design your own gauge panel and gauge layout using posterboard, then copy your template onto some .090" or .125" aluminum and cut it out.... Fit the gauges and lights, remove them, polish or have the aluminum anodized, painted, or powdercoated, install the gauges and install the panel?????

Guess I just get tired of a bunch of bolt ons that ten gadzillion other people buy and install on their car, too.....

the firebirds pod area does not play nicely with aftermarket guages, nor does the dahs layout. I made a pod to fit Autometer guages for my bird, came out nice, but its really tight.

Re: Is there an aftermaket gauge panel?

Ya, I am looking for a dash / cluster replacement too. Mine is in great shape, but I wanna add some feel to my driving excitement lol. However, I just want to replace the black bezel on the front of my gauges (the one with the square raised humps and the fake screws ) for something in brushed alum or something different. On an 84 trans am.
to replace this type of deal here

sorry was just a pic i could find of one

But I dont wanna have to make it myself. Im not good at that stuff.
Anyone know a company who makes them for 3rd gens. I see alot of 2nd gen and 1st gen, even 4th gen, but no 3rd gen. ???
