yEAH i SURE DID and it was horrid,I'm sorry about not posting pics,been busy with work and doctors,just got out of surgery last night,I'll get pics posted today if they let me out of the house,I paid $95.00 for them and nothing was right no screw holes were right and the cut outs to see the clusters were crooked and they lost the turn sig and bright light lens,the bend was wrong on the light switch and the bottom was crookedly cut.I might be able to straighten it up with the dril and dremel tool,like I said before I should have checked them before I paid,but I was running late and was hurting.I live and learn.

Sorry for being so late,my family members are keeping a close watch on me,they don't want me to use my arm for anything(they love me )but here are pics of the dash bezel I paid $95.00 for.I might be able to fix it,they already made the cut outs crooked though,straightening it up will just make it a larger hole. I dunno.

Well,I think they would have looked good pollished or brushed and clear coated kinda like chrome wheels. Instead I think I'll put them in the dumpster,like they do any Abortion.

Lol, I agree. Well, you should find a shop that will do it right, and get another set made.
