i sicv8's definitely looks the best it think if he would make them he could sell quite a bit or hell just even make some like that in black. I hated that when i got my 97 Camaro White face gauges i had to buy the frigging TA lense and bezel for $40 just for the bezel. My old Camaro Lense was in great shape but i had to buy the whole setup to get the TA bezel. I didn't want to buy one of the stainless bezels off ebay and paint it black because they have all those stupid individual squares around the warning lights. If there was something like this available i would of bought one instead of buying the TA bezel.

I would be willing to bet a large amount of money that there are zero overlays out there actually made of real carbon fiber-unless a 1 off custom. No manufacturer is going to take that large of a hit on costs when they could do fake vinyl CF for 1/5th the price.
