You can actually make the OEM needles clear. 02CHEVYRACING TRUCK has done his and also 99Z71. Hopefully they see this thread and tell you how is done. Ive seen their dashes and it looks nice!!

I made mine clear. All I did was take sandpaper and a razor blade to the back of the needle to scrape the paint off. I left it scuffed up to give them a frosted look when the dash lights come on. They say you can buff them really good to keep them from having the frosted look when your done. Just dont forget to turn on the truck and mark where the needles are at so you can put them back in the same place and you wont get weird readings. I put my speedo needle on wrong and it was reading 15 mph under what I was going. It was a fun trip before I noticed that it was wrong
