Ron H. For those of us in the Houston area, how about letting us come over or meet someplace once you get them installed? I just installed the gauge bezels so replacing these parts is a snap. Can't wait to see.

I ordered the Brushed Aluminum a few months back.. I was so disapointed I sent it back costing me $80 bucks to look.. Looked like someone sprayed silver rustolem and ran a brush across for the brushed look.. Bad value for $500 bucks.. I have seen guys paint & clear coat there oem bezels that looked great. Thata what I would do after seeing the "Brushed Aluminum" just my 3 cents

I did mine in Torch Red a few months back. It adds just enough to break up all the black. and give it a distinctive look. Try it you'll like it.

Yes, I did it myself and yes, I have a couple of pics. If you go to our clubs web site www.tampabayvettes.com and click on members pics on the left you will be able to see at least one of them. Mine is the first group of pics on the page. Check it out.

Are you saying you ordered the bezels from Vette Essentials and they were crap? I am surprised since they only deal in qualiity products. I may need to think about cancelling the order if this is the case.
