Default Another Guage Bezel install down.

Well at least I get a chance to second guess mods I've done to the Z, and decide if I want them on the Vert.

Finally have my car back together by Tuesday prob, I've been waiting on these, and BTW it doesn't get much easier the 2nd time around.

My new license plate came in too

6SP VERT

Very thin cut strips of 3M Body trim tape.

I have heard of people losing them with this method, but my Z06 has been holding for about 5 years now.

Default gauge bezel install

I did mine on wednesday of this week. I used 3m moulding tape also. I have had my knee bolster off before and both times I did not remove any part of the center console. I am able to pull the center console radio bezel back away from the key ignition area and remove the knee bolster. This reduces some time. I do agree...it still is work to remove the speedo cluster and install bezel, but worth the effort many times over. I would do it again and encourage anyone who wants the gauge bezels.....DO IT !

The gauge bezels look great - wish Chevy had put them on as a factory item.

I really didn't want to risk breaking the Bezel Dennis made for me. He would probably kill me .

If I get another C5 this is def going in.
