personally, id smooth the gauges in, and spray it , whatever colour you fancy.
if thats how you want your car fair play, dont listen to those above.
failing smoothing it in, trim it in leather or vynal, but deffo not and carpet type material.

why would you put heater controls in the glove box - especially when you really need them i would have left them where they were and mounted the gauges where the flip up draw thing is
