Got some overlays

Well, I came home from spring break to find several packages full of car parts I had ordered weeks back. Since we have no power, I got right down to installing them. The car is filthy...I know. I havent gotten to drive it since september. When May rolls around Ill give it a nice cleaning. I should also mention these are cell phone pics, it looks better in person. Heres what I got done today, more red accents:

And one of the outside showing off more red:

I like the gauges, they look great, but the polished bezel looks pretty bad IMO. way out of place. A stock firebird bezel would look much better

to save the money of buying another bezel, consider simply covering that in a black sticker-like vinyl cut to fit. Pull off the backing, stick it on and see what you think. You can always pull it off if you like the chrome better. Thematically, the chrome ties the interior to the exterior with the wheels, so if you like it, it has legitimate thematic reasoning; just tell us to STFU and keep it!

To save you even more money a stock TA bezel will not fit your gauges...the LT1 and LS1 gauges are put together different. I tried putting one I had in our 96 and it wouldnt work.

So when you add the new gauge overlays for everything other than the speedo (I know you remove the old one for the speedo!), do you take the old ones off or just stick the new ones over them?
