      aftermarket OEM look-a-like gauges of late 2nd gen TA

      Hey guys, I'm considering getting one of the after market gauge manufacturer's to set me up with a set of new gauges. I would love for them to be lit by LED's and have all the new goodies, and I want them to have the same look and fonts as the original gauges used particularly in a 77 Trans Am. I know someone here or on another forum as already had this done. I can even see the picture they posted in my mind's eye. I can NOT find the original thread though. Does anyone happen to know who had this done, which thread I could find it in, or better yet, is anyone reading this in the group of people who have done it!? Please post pics and links here. I originally contacted autometer about this. The guy said if I could provide a link to the thread on the forum or a customer name he could pull up the templates, and the design time of the gauges would be next to zero. Any help is appreciated.

      By the way, I'm also open to any after market gauge company that will do this sort of thing as long as the gauges are high quality and well priced. Autometer is the one I hear hyped the most, so I started there. Please let me know what you suggest on manufacturer. I am aware of the full list that I copied below. Perhaps speed hut was the company that made the gauges I'm thinking of. I don't know. please help me out!

      Are looking specifically for a clock in the tach and oil/temp combo? I have seen a tach with the clock and the options of having turn signals/ obd2/ high beam indicator...I too cannot remember but I think it IS pricey. Is this for factory setup or electronic? I have the auto meter cobalt series....love 'em. With LEDs, you'll need a LED dimmer. Your factory headlight dimmer won't work.
