Well it was a pretty miserable day in NJ today...poured all friggin day...but in the times when it wasnt, I was taking my car apart...

Did two things today...I need to finish the cleanup tomorrow, but I wanted to share...

I installed aluminum gauge bezels and also the motorola HF850 bluetooth kit. I was pretty uneasy about the bezels since Ive never taken a cluster apart to that level, but turned out pretty nice...

So here is the link...there are some other pics mixed in of the vette...there are the C6 shifter install pics, pics when I got it, pics of it next to my camaro that I traded in, and pics of the Z06 front grilles...

Let me know what you think!

The bezel looks great and I like the blue tooth setup, too bad my Nokia is not on the list or I would do one for sure, now I going to have to get a new phone for sure

See, thats what I love about this group! In my camaro days, when anyone would post their projects, you always had one person that would chime in saying something is cheesy or work was crappy...

Here there is always a nice positive vibe!

BTW...the bluetooth was one of the first mods I had to do. Ive always had one, I installed a parrot setup in my camaro, it was a bear to do and cost an arm and a leg....the motorola bluetooth setup is great....doesnt matter if Im in my car or if the wife is driving...it pairs with whoever has their phone close, no worries....
