You aren't limited to the digital gauges made to fit our bezel. You could make your own mounting plate and just use the gauges that you wanted. Dakota Digital offers individual gauges that you can you choose from which may save you some money and allow for a more custom look. As for what looks "right", I think it depends on the rest of the truck. Here is how mine turned out. And yes, I tried a steering wheel or three.

If you mean my gauges, they were around $600. That is pretty much what you have to spend since it is a limited market. I couldn't find a deal anywhere, and believe me, I looked.

On mine I fiberglassed, but I wouldnt reccommend doing that. The fiberglass shrinks and sometimes has a hard time adhering to the plastic. The best way would be to use a plastic welder and weld scrap pieces of plastic to fill the gaps and then smooth it out with filler. That way it will basically be a solid piece of plastic. Theres actually someone that might be sending me his bezels to do like mine, If I do it Ill post pics of the process.
