Default Instrument panel repair

Hi. I’m a new member to this site. Any ideas on where I can find trustworthy, professional instrument panel repair shop for my ’86 coupe. All functions work but you have to wear polarized sunglasses to read the center gages, i.e. oil temp, oil pressure, fuel gage etc. Without them, it’s all a yellow blob. I live in eastern North Carolina currently deployed in Iraq. Will be home in a few months.

I got a new centre display panel from Vettesport, they are on the net. They do rebuilds too.

i guess it depends what you need, but I used contemporary corvette and was very happy with the work and turnaround time.

If I can't find a good one in a wreck, I just go to the Dealer - $300 exchange.
