Update on my order from Vasily.
it arrived in the US on 3/31.
It’s now at USORDA.
According to Google, USORDA is the sorting/customs clearance center in Chicago.
Odd that it came in JFK and then went to Chicago.
Good thing though is that its made it to our shores.
Regarding the pieces….still not sure if it’s just the bezel that separates from the passenger side AC vent or the bezel and the vent housing that gets replaced.
Seems simpler to just pop of the existing bezel and snap on the new one.
Thing is I don’t want to damage whatever (clips?) keeps the bezel attached.

I replaced my passenger vent bezel with one from tko. I ended up breaking the tabs on mine. I ordered another complete vent assembly from ebay for 30 bucks. The vent locks into the bezel just like it does on the driver side. There is a plastic ring on the passenger side that is just held in the dash by friction. The vent assembly slides into it. That plastic ring has tabs that lock the vent assembly into the dash. That's what breaks. Even after having it apart I don't know how to get it out without breaking those tabs.

my inner piece stayed in the dash. Took quite a bit of force when I replaced it. I'm comfortable removing plastic with a trim tool. I thought I was gonna damage the dash when I pulled it out.

Mine shipped out a full month prior and no activity on the tracking ap since Feb. so I believe it is lost.
This happened a couple of years ago with a watch band I ordered from China.
I guess I'll add Russia to the list of countries I'll never buy from again.
At least I only lost $51.

Getting closer!
Pieces are now in Birmingham, AL.
Next stop (I hope) should be West Palm Beach.
Then up the road to Port St Lucie.
At long last love!!

I feel your pain!
Vasily shipped my pieces on March 4th.
Only consolation is the quality of his work makes the wait bearable!!

You really can’t beat Vasily when it comes to quality!!
Before doing business with him, I ordered pieces from another vendor.
Very disappointing to say the least!!
My pieces are now in Miami.
Should be one more stop before getting to my PO for delivery.
