I just used my regular bulbs. Pics are not very good and they look better in person

I finally got the white face decals for the gauges so I thought I would practice on my sons 76 Firebird, no one
really liked the wood grain bezel so i did it in a carbon fiber. I picked up some blue LED's but I haven't got them
installed yet.

I was wondering how that would look. Looks great with the CF. Is that CF a vinyl overlay? If so, where did get it? Ebay link?

I've been looking at a few options and I definitely like the CF look but I was thinking of staying with the stock gauge faces and do the trim rings in brushed silver.

Here ya go this is the one I bought. I had to patch my dash corners so I'm going to use it on the top to cover the
dash before I install me windshield I also used it on the shifter bezel
