Question: can I purchase after-market gauges?

I would like to add gauges to my car, such as oil pressure/temperature and water temperature. My dealer does not sell such a thing. Any ideas where to purchase a set of gauges and get them installed in the Los Angeles area?

Basically, it is a job that most shops can handle. To find a mechanic, try the 'find a mechanic' link on this site, or try Yelp.com.
