Default AWE Vent Boost Gauge -- NOT in black?

I've got the platinum (clay colored) interior on my 99.5 A4 1.8Tqt which just got chipped and I would like to put a boost gauge in it; the only two options that I'd consider would be an AWE vent mounted boost gauge, or the dash mounted one in the beltline trim.

AWE's vent mounted boost gauge comes mounted on a BLACK vent, but my vents are the clay color. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I emailed AWE but no response yet, I doubt that they will custom make one for me (not for cheap


Is there anyone in central ohio who could help me install the dash mounted one as per the tech article below? I'm a college kid and don't exactly have access to a drill press.<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/int35.shtml">Dash Mounted Boost Gauge Tech Article</a></li></ul>

Default yep

The vents are not available as a separate part, so what AWE does is order the center vent cluster (which is one part) and remove all three individual vents, drill them out, and fill three boost gauge kits with it. If they don't already have a gray one in stock, they should order a vent cluster, fill your order, then have two more gray vents available for future orders.
