The lack of analog gauges has always been one of my two gripes about my C4...the other being that steering wheel that looks like it came out of grandma's Buick ....LOL...I have a 94 coupe
I would think it would be a real bear rewiring everything behind the dash....it would be nice if an aftermaket company could come up with an analog panel that was "plug & play" To keep it looking more OEM...perhaps they could use C6 gauges.....just a thought..

1984-1996 LCD Dash Replacements
Corvette America has them Very costly though.
These dashes are precision-cut and powder coated for an excellent fit and finish. They are then fitted with Auto Meter gauges - wired to be fully functional as a true plug and play component. Comes with instructions on how to remove and replace your existing dash.
The Auto Meter Gauges are fully electronic, but with a classic, analog look and feel. Programing and syncing is simple, and explained in the instructions. You can choose either a six or eight gauge dash fitted with Phantom (white face) or Sport-Comp (black face) Auto Meter gauges.

Polishing is taking a while, I might go to a textured black powdercoat, I can get whatever I want powdercoated at my work for free. I have the dash all drilled and ready. I am having a c4 emblem engraved into the dash between the speedo and tach. should look pretty sharp. More pics to come. I saved the CNC file I plasma cut it with.

Wow, these are some beautiful dashes. If the guages themselves didn't add up so fast $$$ I'd be all over this. I can fab a panel and do the wiring (without a kit). 
What size guages are some of you using 3.5", 5" ?

Well here is a pic of the gauge pod after engraving the corvette emblem on a CNC mill at my work, still have some wet sanding and polishing to do. I went with 3.5" for speedo and tach and 2 1/6" for rest of gauges, blue LED for high beam and green LED's for turn signals really clean look. Should be installed in the car by this weekend.
