I took the guages out and used the black housing for a pattern to cut a flat sheet of 1/8 inch thich aluminmum out that matched front of the housing. Then laid out where I was going to put the gauges and cut holes in the aluminmum. I then laid it on top of the plastic and cut out the plastic orginal housing so the guauges would fit in it. It really butchered up. But I glued the aluminmum to the plastic and painted it a semi black gloss. Also painted the other dash panels to make sure it all matched. I'll get a picture and post it. I don't have any pics as I put it together.
