Which do you prefer?
Personally I prefer the black pods because the gauges are black. But I can see guys with chrome or silver gauges leaning the other way.

My AEM gauges came with a silver bezel so I used those with the silver pods. Still like yours better.

Where did you get those pods?
They look like they're poking out the bottom.

Black for sure. Looks better, silver would be "too much" silver in there. You want a little contrast. But it all depends on what YOU like.

The pods are all 2 inch pvc pipe. Cut to desired size. The black pods are 3/4 of an inch shorter than the silver set. With AEM gauges you can use a very short pod because the gauge only goes in the pod about 3/8 inch. The black set are more refined from experience I gained making the silver set.

Both looks good. With that said I voted black.

Call me crazy, but I think the silver buckets looks way better. I think it punctuates the gauges, and it looks like it belongs as part of the bezel. Black buckets looks like someone hot glued them onto their '97 Accord.

Voted for the black ones as I'd follow with a CF bezel...

Thanks Flying Banana for letting me post this quick classified as it pertains to this thread.
I bought a bezel used and decided not to use it. It's in excellent condition and I'm just looking to make my money back if you're looking for one. $15 + freight.
