Billet dress up parts for 3rd gen interiors

We added some new interior products recently to our website including new Billet Door Jam Vents and other parts. The door jam vents start at $100 for a pair and are available in anodized black or machined finish. Also have a billet flasher **** and tilt lever.

Re: Billet dress up parts for 3rd gen interiors

Speaking of interior dress up parts, I wish someone would produce the aluminum gauge trim rings again.

Re: Billet dress up parts for 3rd gen interiors

the set i have was milled to be the exact diameter of the bezel openings so they just pressure fit in there.

I believe they were an interference fit with the openings of the gauge cluster cover.

Re: Billet dress up parts for 3rd gen interiors

there were slight differences in the gauge openings between the 82-84 and 85+ firebird dash bezels. if you start at post #15 in the thread below, you can see the depths aren't the same and required different trim rings.

Re: Billet dress up parts for 3rd gen interiors

We don't manufacture the billet parts, most of the parts we make are cut and bent from steel or aluminum, but we don't have access to a CNC machine. LG Billet makes our billet parts; they take requests but it's up to them what they will produce. I will pass along the information. I have a couple of 3rd gen Firebird gauge bezels and would ship them to LG Billet if it's something they want to produce. So far most of their product sales have been trucks, so that's where their focus is currently. I have been very happy with the quality of their products and use them on my own car, really like the vents over other brands I've tested.

Re: Billet dress up parts for 3rd gen interiors

I too installed a set of these, removed form another bezel.

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/memb...-1988-t-4.html

The early cars cars have a perfectly round gauge opening, I believe. The '85 + cars though, have a slightly ovoid shape. The lip allows you to hide the gap, if you center the ring in the opening. I set mine in with a thin bead of silicone. They would not have stayed otherwise. Also, as you can see in the photos in the thread linked above, they did not cover 100% of the depth of the bezel. Still, I love them. One of the best things I've done for the car IMO, and they get constant comments.

Sadly, while lots of folks say they like them and would like to have a set, it took the guy who had the batch of 50 made years to sell all of them. Another TGO member from Canada, whom I met at the Michigan F-Body Meet & Greet some years back, made some also. He too ran into some difficulty finding buyers.
