Oh, I see what you're saying now. I'll see what they look like blacked out and go from there. What I'd really like to get are the black steering wheel controls.

I was going to get the overlays for my eclipse but I ended up finding a set of white face gauges. I love the look.

I re-did the bezels. I sanded all the crappy epoxy paint off and repainted with a good flat black and a couple coats of matte clear. They came out a lot better.

I feel the same about the silver. I notice that the Nismo's are black, at least the newer ones.
