They can be made pretty easy, just get a piece of thin sheet metal, plastic or plexiglass. Make a template out of cardboard and transfer it onto what you are making it out of. Mark where you want the gauges and cut them out.

But if you want to buy one, 6LE has one and the one you posted is in the thread below

x2 on 6LE's. It's precut so you just plug and play.

Those are made by AdFab. I'm gonna get one pretty soon. I'd get Mark's, but the gauges I'm getting have peak recall buttons and such, so I need them exposed. Sucks, cause I like how Marks is covered and looks more OEM.
