Gauge Bezels-Billet Aluminum for TA/Firebird

I have 2 sets of billet aluminum gauge bezels. Anyone who has seen these agree that they really enhance the appearance of the dash.
$150/set. Contact me with any questions.

Re: Gauge Bezels-Billet Aluminum for TA/Firebird

Because these are billet and the machine time it takes to make these, this is the rock bottom price.

They do make a difference for someone looking to upgrade their interior.

Re: Gauge Bezels-Billet Aluminum for TA/Firebird

Live - Since your are still a Junior poster, I will not lash out at you for your comments. But, if you can make these out of billet for less money than have at it. Anyone who shops around to have them made will realize they are expensive to make.

Re: Gauge Bezels-Billet Aluminum for TA/Firebird

Actually $150 is a decent price. Not only the machining time, try buying the billet stock to make these. You will be hard pressed to buy enough material to make these for this amount. At least at retail prices.

Sorry but that's not my car. That belongs to a guy from the UK. I only carry the gauge bezels.

I concur with that statement. If he makes more bezels or any other product then I fully endorse HiTech5 as a reliable seller and producer of quality products. My bezels fit (in the words of Ace Ventura) "like a glove."

If anyone finds them, or someone to make them let me know. If not, maybe we can get a group purchase going from a machine shop. If someone has a set, could you get the dimensions?
