Wow! They sure do!

I never used to like the look of the guage bezels. Now I think they really set off the gauges and make them look 100% better!

Good job!

I just think it'd add come color to the interior. I think they'd set off with my chrome C6 wheels and C6 Z06 shifter - might help "flow" more color to the cabin.
