turn around and walk out of home depot. go to a car stereo store and ask around. from my local shop i got this black plastic with a fake leather print. i actually mounted it in my upper central a/c vent (dont have ac anyways) i find it works pretty well, but you may want to see if you can angle the guages toward the driver slightly.

Have you searched for the Saab panel or something along those lines in the forums? IIFC, it's ~$14 from the dealer and it looks stock.

yeah i used a stereo piece myself however that would only take 2 gauges so I descided to buy one off of a guy from ebay that accomodates 3 gauges (bastard bid on his part to make it more expensive) but it was about 15 bux when all was said and done. If you look from time to time you will see one.

gauge panel

Yeah, my brother has one of the 3 gauge holders from Ebay, I think it was about 15 bucks, fits nicely and looks nice as well.
