Here is a link one style of the gauges. There is more on ebay you just have to look. They make them for v-6 (120mph) and v-8 (150mph). It would be impossible to but a 150mph over a 120mph dash. The installation is pretty straight forward you just have to take apart your dash then get to the gauges. Next start up the car and write down on a piece of paper where the needles are because you will have to remove some of them. Then removet he needles using a kitchen fork putting the forks behid the needles and using two hands pull the needle off. Leave the speed needle and gas needle on being these are the two you really dont want to mess up. The but the gauges over and reinstall the needles. You have to restart the car to do this. Just use the paper you wrote the locations down of the needles to get an accurate reading of your gauges. It may take a couple of tries to get it right because the needles jump around. Not to hard though.

I like mine the best and I am sure they are on ebaymotors.com somewhere you just have to look. I know the sellers name is redlinezone.com
Here is mine installed.

NO its not that big of a project. Just take your time and look for the screws. Some are hidden like in the glove box. You'll be fine.
Here is a link someone made up on how to install gauge overlays. Also I said you have to remove the needles, I am not sure but reading his instructions maybe in the 98+ cars you dont have to remove the needles due to the design.
