Bezel finish. Black or Chrome?

Which do you prefer? I just got my tach dash and currently have a chrome bezel. The parts truck I have has a good black bezel. Which do you prefer? Looking for pics of tach dashes with both finishes.

Sorry I don't have any pics with the all chrome bezel, but imo the black looks much better. Randy

here something else you can do i saw it on the show trucks stacey took a pick guard material for a guitar and cut it to fit in the bezel there so many cool design on pick guards
stacey had on that look like granite came out real cool
im going to do mine with the van halen pattern (eddie's white and red stirpe guard )
check out your local guitar shop and check out the patterns out

My plans are to go dark blue on top with a light driftwood or light gray on the bottom. Going pretty dark on the interior. I saw the episode that he did that on too. It was pretty cool.
I really need to refinish the tach and speedo. Any suggestions?
