well you can bring to life factory oil gauges by replacing the sending units sometimes, but all in all yes get an aftermarket.

you can get an aluminum gauge plate from mustangs unlimited that would replace the factory gauge cluster and you just cut holes for your own arrangement for water ever gauges you want....i was thinkin i would do speedo and tach there and then do a gauge on the steering column and then three on the A pillar and then a couple in the vents in the middle

FUCK THAT!!!! 99.99 plus 30 bucks shipping... Piss on that dude!! I will be going to the weld shop tomorrow and I will tell you exactly how much it will cost for thiem to build be a gauge plate for the stock area. Also it will only cost me $!75.00 for ALL gauges but the tach/speedo.... That's like another 119 so like 250.00 shipped for all gauges and I will tell you the cost of the custom gauge plate tomorrow.
