Ford sells the whole set of them for a grand total of about $480. Save yourself the cash and hit the bezels with 600 grit sandpaper.

yes those are mine. They actually look a little better in real life than that picture. You can use any high grit, 400, 600, etc. I don't think wetsanding is necessary but it wouldn't hurt anything. Just be sure to take the parts out of the dash so they are easier to work on. the vents come right out if you yank them, and then the chrome rim comes off. For the instrument cluster, lower your steering wheel and pull the whole thing straight to you. You can't separate the chrome from the plastic in this case because it's permanently bonded, so cover all the black dash plastic with masking tape and hit the chrome with the sandpaper.

Easy, virtually free mod. Looks way better in my opinion.
