Default Guage Bezels

I am about to begin my HUD mod in my 99. I decided I would add the aluminum guage bezels at the same time. There are three Forum vendors offering the bezels. Vette Shop @ $74.99, Vette Essentials @ $99.00 and West Coast Corvettes @ $129.99. From experience, can anyone advise me as to why I should or should not go with the best price?

Thanks
Mike

They are probably all about the same - I'd go with either the Vetteshop of Vette Essentials mainly due to price.

I'll be in your boat in a few days, but I think I might go the cheapest route and use paint as discussed in the HUD write-up article. G'luck with it. I still need to gather the switch and bezel.
