Gauge Pod - paint required?

I need a better place to put my gauges. Starting to look into A-pillar gauge pods.

Do they all require paint to match interior?

I have gauges in both the pillar and under the cubbie. Like them both. Pics in my gallery.

The autometer a pillar pod is black and looks OK if you have a black dash, otherwise paint it. I just moved my gauges from the floor (cubbie) to the windshield so they are less of a distraction to view. (claimed it was a necessary safety item). Ford paint is $20
