What do you think of the look and fit of the silver bezel?

[[email protected]]

After lots of requests from clients I finally got the brushed aluminum silver bezel to fit on my new mechanicals.

The bezel does sit flush to the lens but it doesn't cover the black bezel 100% as shown on the pictures.

So my question to you as the end consumer is this... do you care?

If you don't then I'll start including it as an option for the gauge package.







For comparison where is how it looked like on my Omori gauges

looks fine to me , its not enough to bother me personally.

[docurley]

To me it looks like it does not fit so you blacked it out to get round the problem.

[Matt C]

Yeah, I hate to say it, but that wouldn't work for me either . As soon as you get this done where it fully covers the black bezel (if you do) I am buying one!

Unfortunately there is no way for me to make the aluminum bezel completely cover the black bezel. It took me a month just to make it fit the new gauge.

So this is the only option available if you wanted the gauge to match the look of the cluster as close as possible.

[Redgoat]

If you notice in one of the pics the factory guages have the same look So I wouldnt mind

[ApexIt]

looks good to me

I don't think anyone would notice once the gauge is put into the pod.

But I'm just a bit OCD when it comes to details like this.

[Entropy333]

Doesn't look that bad once installed..understand the OCDness though..

[Smiley]

Do not care! Looks really good IMO.

[Euro-Tuner]

I said yes only becuase when installeds it looks like it doesnt go back all the way. looks like its hanging out, but its not horrible

[Anthony]

Winston, I need to speak to you about gauges soon. I may also have an impossibly difficult special request as well...

[[email protected]]

Let me know what you need... and I'll see if your special request goes beyond what I already had in mind for myself.

[Capt. Obvious]

Looks good to me, the factory gauges are like that too.

So how much is it to get one for my current gauge?

[sean1.8t]

why don't people just paint the original black bezel silver to match it?

seems like that would be an easy solution......?

[fritzner]

the factory bezels look the same in the last pic.. i think it looks fine..

I'll see what I can do when you drop your car to me

The silver aluminum bezel has the proper shape and curve to match the instrument cluster rings better than the rounded bezel that is on the new mechanical gauge.

no no no...

i was referring to painting the black bezel on the guage silver first. and THEN putting your silver bezel on top of it. that way both are matching silver..


only problem i would see is that it might leave a noticable line of seperation between the 2 bezels....?

either way it looks great as is. i want one and when can i buy?

If you painted the bezel first the metal bezel would never fit on.

The fitiment of the bezel is so tight that once you press it on it's not coming off. I can't get that bezel off that demo gauge without damaging that gauge itself.

If you wanted one it is $10 shipped and I have a few in hand.

Just send payment to [email protected] and I'll get one out to you.

steps...

1- put bezel on guage

2- tape off everything but the black ring still showing

3- paint

4- remove tape

5- done




does the stewart warner bezel fit around it at all? im going to have to go check that out once i remember what i did with that old guage..

if i can't figure anything out with that. i'll be ordering it from you

The bezel off the old SW gauge you'll destroy trying to remove it off the gauge since it is wrapped behind the bezel and crimped into place.

I don't mind the bit of black...can we see the gauge at night...pics of the illumination please!

[colinisneat]

It's not that big of a deal. I know if it were mine it would annoy me, but that's just my personal opinion ofcourse.

Is this just for the mechanical gauges? Any update on the silver bezel for the electronic stepper guages?

This is just for the mechanical gauges.

The new electronic gauges have a totally different body design and will not be ready for a few months as they are being produced right now.

ordered - sweet!!

Everyone who ordered a ring they have been shipped out.
