Ebay alum. brushed bezel help!

For those of you that have bought it and installed it, mine looks a little uneven... like it sits in front of the guages and looks wierd. Did you guys have to take a dremel to anything? thanks!

I have a CF one. Same hassle as you, I had to shave some off around the Tach & speedo to get it to sit properly, fortunately I have chrome gauge rings to cover the rough edges.

An ebay company that made aluminum bezel's can't remember the name I emailed and asked them if they made carbon ones which they did. It was about $6 cheaper than these guys:

but now looking back mabye these guys would be better but who know's, they sell both carbon and aluminum.

Custommaxima is probably the safest bet.

I got mine ebay also as mentioned earlier and thinking back my fitment issues were with my chrome rings fitting the bezel not my bezel to the gauge cluster backing, hope this clears things up a little.

Flav, you got pics of your entire interior? Just wondering if you have the CF trim all over or just in the dash

Ours should be a perfect fit. I've never taken a return on a bezel. The only thing anyone ever mentioned was that on a couple of the batches, the hole for the odo reset was too small. That was taken care of, it's just such a tight tolerance there that the machine tolerance would sometimes cause the hole to be too small. That was a couple of years ago though. We reject a lot of stuff off the machine and never ship it out, it's partly why we have to charge more. And ours are real metal, it's a lot more expensive than the plastic most companies call metal.
