Gauge face...
 

I've been looking at this http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tchlink:top:en and thinking about painting it Blue to match the interior lighting I have going on. The actual dash bezel will probably end up being the same blue sometime this summer, probably going to go with a dark blue, nothing too flashy so it doesn't look corny.

What do you think? Essentially I'm wondering if anyone has bought these before and if they've had fitment issues.

Just to let you know, it's a real pain in the a$$ to remove the clear plastic lense. Some people have used a dremel and cut a hole on the side of the bezel cover to slide that overlay in.

Wow, I didn't think it was that hard to open up. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try getting into the actual gauges first, and if I can open it up I'll buy this.

I was thinking of masking off the "bevelled" edges and leaving them that brushed aluminum colour and just doing the face of it Blue, giving it a slight "chrome" accent. I like the way my dad's Sierra looks at night with the chrome around the gauges, it's rich looking.

Thanks Dave.

Anytime. I wish trim rings were available for our trucks.

I'm trying to put that same one in right now. I have no idea how to get it off of there. I'm thinking on just buying a new plastic cover and breaking the old one off...

you won't get just a new plastic cover... you'll have to buy the entire cluster...

I think a dark blue would look pretty sweet.

It'll go with my interior lighting... check out my cardomain (click my signature photo) and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Sorry for the off topic, but how difficult would it be to swap out the entire cluster (w/ out tach, to one with) would it be the same issue with removing the plastic cover?
