SVTHorsnake is infamous around these parts

Why have them? Ricers... Just kidding, but not really. I've seen kits to replace the chrono, or mount there if you don't have one.

I'm sorry, I don't have either. They might've been custom installations. The way I understand it, people bought gauges of the same diameter and replaced their chrono clock, or went and bought the housing from the dealership. I saw one that was shaped the same but had a pod for 2. I'm not sure where it was from but it could've been two OEM replacements reupholstered very well, with a little fiberglass work. If you have some money to play around with, a custom stereo shop should be able to make something really OEM-looking.
