all in one style gauges?

I am redoing a lot of things in the vette and gauges is one of them. I have a 80' with ls1/4l60 being installed in two weeks. I need new gauges. I found this setup from dakota digital

Is there another company that has something similar? Maybe a little less pricey? I like the idea of an all in one dual round gauges. I have other plans for where the old gauges use to be on the center console so thats why I want all in one.

I have been looking at those myself. They would allow me to then install a double DIN stereo/nav unit where the factory gauges are now. Those gauges also have the turn signals, and high beam and brake warning lights built in. Very nice.

I like the red on carbon fiber look the best. To bad I can't see it in person lol

How would these mount into the housing for the Speedo and Tach areas?
I am getting ready to pull my dash to put a tilt colum in and half the gauges don't work now...

Not a clue lol. If I remember I will take pictures of what I end up doing. Right now I am thinking of fabricating a piece of aluminum to house the new gauges then black it out. That idea may change once I get started

They have a cutout diameter or 5" so they might just drop in to the original holes. I wasn't aware of these gauges before today but since they have turn signals, high beam and CEL built-in I might start thinking about using them in place of the stock gauges.
