Default Using original Sierra dials

I've decided to stick with the original dials off the car, predominantly due to cost

However I did get a minor upgrade for the dials in applying the white dial background ... what do you think ... like or not?!?

I think it looks awesome. Although I'm biased! I've also 'freshened' up the Sierra Dials by going to white, as my car is white and black. I think it contrasts with a black dashboard nicely. When I've finished trimming off my dash I'll post some pics.

I think for a budget set of dials they look really good.
