Z28 odometer/gauges help...PLEASE

Alright. I've got a 1997 Camaro 30th Anni. w/o a digital odometer...it's the regular kind since I have one of the earlier produced ones. I want to eventually throw in some white face gauges and a bezel. Now, when I look for 1997-02 gauges, most of them are for the digital odometer. Anyone know if they will still fit mine or if there are any other types that will fit? I would really like to find out. Thanks if anyone can help.

As long as the rest of the guages are the same, I'd just slice and dice it in.

It is pretty easy to cut these overlays and swap portions of them. I've got whitefaced guages in my car, but I used a razor blade to cut and install the "message center" portions of the cluster, so just the actual guages are white. It looks great. I bet you could do something similar to get the proper odometer opening. Just re-use that part of your old overlay. The odometer doesnt need to be white, does it?

HERE is a link to a post I did a while back with details on the process. My car is a 1994, but the concept would be the same.
