New gauge bezel I found this while looking for stuff for my nephew's truck. Looks pretty cool. Anybody have it? Here's the link.

I like it too. I want to sand smooth and paint the one in my TA to give it the same look. I think it gives the intierior a much needed wake up without going cheesy.

Why dont you guys scan the stock label, then use a metal sliver of aluminum, then print on clear sticky paper all the gauges. That would look tight.
We did this on our dub's, creats a nice drop shadow too, not sure how you'd illuminate it or how it would look, but its phat on older dubs. Here's a pic of my friends that i took.
Would that look ghey on the z28?

onyx i tune anything that runs digifant-1. notably the corrado g60, golf rallye(uk/eu), and whatever the hell uses the cheap engine management. We've done some crazy sheot like 2.0 16V ported with t3/t4e @ 11:1 compression in a stripped rabbit. Dude killed his driveline more times than i have fingers lol.
I was talking about using a grained metal then using a pro-printer to print the black lettering over it on clear, which is what is above. We just sanded the stock metal (vw's use that) and then clear printed the gauges. Looks real tight, but may not be "GM" style. i dig it for the dubs though. Just kickin an idea. May look stupid as hell but i've seen some stupid looking accessories on ebay for fbody's too.
