So, I've had this aftermarket dash bezel sitting around for almost a year. It was finally time to put it in. It looks MUCH better in person, but I think it still looks good in the pics.

Kain and I were working on the truck for the better part of the day, and I couldn't walk by the window without craning my neck to take a peek.
I also have LMC's halogen headlights installed. They look really good as well. And, they're brighter...but they look damn good.

Looks great. 
That bezel and glass really POP!

That looks nice, except for that funky rubber trim ring. Yep, looks like you forgot to slide that back before taking the pic. I have forgotten that in the past, too. 
It looks like a brand new 1980's truck.
On my pickup, I went with a plastic brushed aluminum aftermarket panel and 5" autometer procomp ultralight full sweep gauges. It looks very nice, but the fit was not good. Some people don't realize how much time they spend looking at the dash and hood of their vehicle. I like them too look good.

I didn't even notice that. I'll fix that tomorrow.
I actually bought that crappy silver trim piece that sticks on the dash bezel because I didn't realize it was going to look that good. Luckily, you can return most things to LMC up to one year after ordering. So, looks like that piece is going back.

That is really sharp! 
Like others have said, that looks nice!

I'm glad you posted that. I was looking at tach solutions. That's the best one yet.

I also bought the new clear plastic piece that sits behind the bezel that covers the gauges. Those two pieces cost just shy of $200. Definitely not cheap, but it looks great.
Word of warning on the clear piece: it comes wrapped in a shrink-tight piece of plastic. It seemed really staticy (for lack of a better term) when I unwrapped it. I should've taken the time to discharge all the static, because there are a few noticeable bits that are stuck to the back side of it (west Texas isn't known for it's dust-free environment). I'll probably leave it alone for now, and fix that issue when, and if, I get the money for the tach that 82355 posted a link to.

I want to make that fit my 91.
No reason you can't.

^ Nice dash and thank you Martin for posting the retro-fit tach. Really want that... So I happened to look at the latest LMC Spring Catalog and they have a similar "new" diesel version for $100, but when I plugged in the part # online it doesn't come up yet. Hopefully, they'll have a gas version soon at the same price...
