Bezels with white faced gauges
Does anyone have aluminum gauge bezels along with the white gauges. I really like the aluminum gauge bezels but also like the white gauges. Anybody have both? How do the two look together? Any pics and comments?

Might have to pull the trigger on this one. I noticed your console looks grey and smooth, did you buy this dash kit or do it yourself?

Waves to everyone!
IMHO, the white gauges coupled with the very complimentary looking aluminum bezels, is such an attractive interior dash conversion for any Corvette C5. Just do it! BTW, the pics posted on this thread are really sharp. Thanks for sharing.

I did the console myself (door handle, stereo, and arm rest surrounds with interior primer and paint the same time I put the white gauges in - - - I did have to redo it last year, because of dropping my shifter lock on it and it chipped away some of the paint. It is not that smooth, has the same texture as stock, but now it's silver
looks great, gotten many compliments on them in person... here's another pic (btw - I am WWE wrestling fan, the mini-belt just hangs on the shifter - it is not stuck on... after all I do consider the Corvette the World Heavyweight Champion
)
