Default Boost Gauge

I've seen a couple of pics of cars with the boost gauge moulded into the speedo surround. I was going to fit it into the coin tray on the surround . Really like this idea , any body know where i can get one of these ?

thanks Daz

They are modified standard surrounds, I've seen them done for 2 gauges before, I could do with a double type now.
