Default Gauge Cluster or Tach Options

So Here at the end of the month my 97 MN6 Coupe is going under the knife at Tom Wong's Performance Engineering and getting a decent heads/cam swap with a bunch of goodies. I'm pretty excited. The cam will bump my redline to about 6600 RPMs, and I was wondering what my options are for a Tachometer that has the redline colored as high.

I really like the look of the Z06 Gauge Clusters - with the checkers etc... But i don't want a Z06 Emblem on my Gauge Cluster... since i don't have a Z06. I'm also really only interested in swapping the Tach (And Speedo to match) so if those can swap w/o a whole new gauge cluster that'd be handy.

I'm just curious what others have used for gauge Clusters - and if anyone has any pictures, prices, vendors, and experiences - that would all be greatly appreciated.

Haven't really heard of anyone swapping out for anything other than the Z06 cluster. Not even sure if anything else is out there besides an aftermarket tach that would mount separately from the cluster.

Might want to try the C5 Tech section and see if anyone there knows.
