Gauge bezel

[BigGeorge]

BrendanP and I will be getting a chrome bezel to replace the stocker.

Anyone know if we run a risk of braking the gauge housing? Last time I had it off I was checking to see how easy it would be to replace the bezel and (to me) it didn't look that easy.

Thanks!

I saw those on feebay. I did not like the Kanji symbol in the middle.

The picture looks like you don't have it.

Where you getting those?

Is it plastic?

They are billet. Didn't want plastic and I'm not a fan of the stocker.

Hey BIG GEORGE, I have an extra set of gauges if you want to practice using mine and I get to keep the chrome bezel If you don't break my gauges. I'll pay shipping both way.

Wow! That's pretty generous 2K. Let me think about it.























No thanks.

I think a DIY thread on replacing the guage bezel is in the works

How much was it?

It was $159.

I spoke with the seller and he told me that it should take between 30-mins and 1 hour to remove the stock bezel and install the chrome. He said that when you're pulling off the stock bezel that it might seem like you're gonna break something - but that because Suzuki uses some extra strength double-sided take to affix the bezel to the panel.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this!

Use dental floss between the edges of the doublestick and pull back and forth. It splits like a date after prom!

Good idea... thank you!

Everywhere I looked the chrome bezel was $160 with an "exchange" for your old bezel. This was the first company I found hat didn't require an exchange... AND it's billet. The other companies were chromed plastic.
