Which bezel to get?

Hi guys. Since I am about to get some chrome rings, I also would like to pick up a bezel. I can remember some1 before had a nice one. I think it was just white. The one on custom maxima is brushed aluminum for the 2K1.

I just want to know what other types of bezels are available. I think the one I remember that looked really good was simply a white one, no? I have an SE so i think it will look really good. What do you guys think?

Whatever you do, don't buy the bezel from autoaccessorystore.com. The shipping took forever, and when it finally arrived, it looked like ****. The cutouts were uneven. I went ahead and put the rings on without the bezel, and I ended up liking it better that way anyway. I don't personally think the bezel is worth the trouble. Whenever you see Audi's, MB's, VW's etc., they just have the rings on a black background. It is more natural and classy looking that way.

It's always good to have faith, right?

By the way, where did you get your bezel from, and does it fit well?

I think the chrome gauge rings look best on the stock black bezel. Just looks classy and subtle...as if it were a stock option...

Gotta support your team, I'm not gonna lie, OU's got a good team but it's going to be a good game.
I got my bezel from E-Bay. I do have an extra one along with some other carbon fiber pieces if anyone is interested. The fit was perfect but the only thing is that when I recently went to North Carolina the temperature change affected it's sticking ability. It's starting to pull off but I think because I didn't clean the area too well.
