Default Chrome Gauge Bezel with White faced gauges

Hello I have been searching the forum to try and see if anyone had ever put white gauges with the chrome/aluminum gauge bezels that are on ebay. Does anyone have pics of this? I found one with regular gauges but I would really like white gauges to match my phantom gauges on my triple gauge pod

here is regular, but does anyone have this with white gauges?

Don't do it man, it won't look as good as you think. I would just forget about the metal bezel and buy a T/A bezel. It is soo much cleaner and more appealing. You will get way more props for that then the cheesy metal bezel. Trust me man.

^^yeah, he speaks the truth....I have pics of my setup if you are interested....I know a lot of guys on here have a similar set-up, but it sure does look good IMO, although i don't think the metal and white looks too bad, but I definitly like my setup better....

I still am debating it, I simply want to make the interior more classy than it is with the cheap plastic right now. I will be going with chrome vent rings so I thought chrome around the bezel would be a nice addition too, i guess we will see once i get everything.

I honestly think the white gauges and chrome bezel is ugly. I dont care for the chrome bezel period. Then again I like subtle things so the chrome is too flashy for me. Like everyone else said, if anything I would sell that bezel back on ebay, and do the simple white gauges. See how the one in my picture is white EVERYWHERE? I like the other style better with white in just the gauge areas. I think ws6store.com sells them.

No V6's came with the bezel, it just pops off your stock gauges.
