Stock gauges, different look? What have you done?

Hey people. Well I was going to make my factory gauges to be SILVER faced with Black increments and letters. I was having a friend that works with vinyl remake the stock letters and what not, then I was going to paint the "tin" pieces silver. Unfortunately its not going to happen and I need to come up with some other Ideas.
I am kicking around the idea of painting my stock dash insert silver with chrome trim. Kinda like the Signet panels that cover the rest of the dash. If I do that then Ill probley leave the gauges to have a black and white theme.
Whatcha think and what have you guys done?

I know Im not going with any after market gauges, so I wont try to get another thread started on after market set ups. Just wondering what has been done to make the stocker look different.
