aftermarket firebird gauges?

I was looking to replace the gauges in the dash but haven't been able to find some direct replacements. Is there a whole gauge layout change like they have for the camaros or does it have to be custom? Are there anyother gauge cages you can put into a firebird? Any pics would be great.

They need digital guages that cheap for Firebirds. But I doubt they ever would be due to the size of the things.

I was thinking of getting those gauges on ebay, but it would probably be very difficult/impossible to seperate the oil/volts/water/fuel/ sections.
I would have tried to mount them in the vents on my 4th gen dash.

i won an auction for those last week. they should be here any day now. they should hold me off until i got with autometer gauges. the reason they are only for 82-85 firebirds is because the setup only works with cable driven speedos. in 86, the birds got electronic speedos. from what i've heard, it's pretty easy to switch your electronic to cable driven.
