I just painted my faux wood cluster surround with flat black. Their White Guages are a good deal.

BTW - I have painted the needles on the temp & gas gauge black now also!

In my humble opinion, carbon fiber overlays are for weenies.

If you don't actually have the carbon fiber part, you don't need the look. It's kind of like those guys who add stick-on or otherwise nonfunctional vents and hood scoops to their cars. If there's not a functional reason for a parts, don't add it.

Go with a little paint. It'll look nice.

^^^ I agree, it just doesn't go well with the car, even the white gauges are a bit much.

just finished redoing mine, here's some inspiration...

I sprayed mine in a dark gray and it looks awesome.

you guys kill me...what difference does it make if it looks good, goes well with an o2 or if it's for a pussy...the man didn't ask for your opinions, he ask'd for a lead on getting it cheaper....if he wants it in his car, more power to him

now....

Thanks for the info Esty, I found one at AutoZone, but I am terrible in cutting things.

It’s okay everyone is entitled to their own opinion, the reason I am planning to change the look is to match with my console

Oof you're absolutely right, I apologize.

you might have noticed the chrome like the carbon fiber hanging in the same area...i used that on a gauge panel...i don't have it handy to take a pic but cutting it was pretty easy...i used an exacto (?) knife

Can I ask a quick question, not to hijack this post either... can you take the cluster apart? All three of my plastic cluster glass is a little dirty inside... I wanted to clean it out... is it easy to do? If you put in white gauges (look nice btw)... I'm assuming I can get in there and clean those suckers. Any tips would be helpful.

There is a carbon fiber vinyl that a local sign company may have at their shop. Stick it on to your cluster and cut out around the guages.
