Default Dash Appearance Questions

Here is what I'm planning on doing but am at a loss when it comes to my dash.

These are a definate:
Billet AC *****
Billet headlight ****
Billet door handles

This is my main question:

OPTION #1:
Billet gauge bezel overlay
Stock (black) guages
Blue speedometer needles with billet hub

OPTION #2:
Stock (black) gauge bezel
White face gauge overlays (black with blue numbers at night)
Red speedometer needles with billet hub

Which would best compliment the billet interior accessories that are a definate? I am kinda worried about glare (don't know if it will even glare since it will be deep enough into the dash) on the billet gauge bezel overlay and have thought about getting both the billet gauge overlay and the white face gauges but the gauge cluster wouldn't have enough contrast (too light). Any input? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have a big list saved on my laptop. And every night I seem to find another way to alter it. It's all I ever think about...Literally!!! There is just something I love about taking something and either creating or improving it and then have other people give you props on it. VERY rewarding.

I beleive option 2 would go best with the definates. It's a tough decision cause I don't have a pic of both options in front of me, but picturing it, I think 2 would look better.

That's funny, I also have a list going on my PC of all the mods I wanna do to my X. I just wish I had $10 for everytime I change or add something on that list cause it would all be DONE by now!
