Default my 67 gto dash w aftermarket gauges

not sure where to post this so, here goes i figured the race section was appropriate because this is not really a stock thing lol. i started with my factory bezel. for those that do not know what they look like pic is below. second pic is with the plastic insert i made installed. and third pic is with the gauges installed . let me know what you think. if anyone is interested i may be able to make another. obviously purists can keep your comments to yourself lol. oh yeah and its "just a lemans" as i have heard too many times
