Alright, so Smitdavi inspired me to update my gauge cluster. It only took a couple hours and I think it was totally worth it.

Looks good!! I've got my cluster out at the moment replacing bulbs for leds may have to open it up... Did those chrome bezels just snap in place or did you have to glue them?

I did glue them on. They didn't hold in place on their own.
I painted the rings silver. Chrome didn't match up with the look of my interior.

looks great,
I'm glad you answered about painting the rings. I had only seen them in chrome.
For me the 4 smaller were able to snap in place but the speedo and tach required a couple drops of super glue.

If it hadn't been so windy I would have just spray painted them. I used some testers model paint and it turned out fine. I did wipe them down with alcohol. The whole project really didn't take more than a couple of hours. Get out there and DOET!!!
