Firebird / Trans Am Gauge Bezels
 
After a long battle with health issues, I have been able to make a 2 sets of gauge bezels for Firebirds / Trans Ams. These have a 90* lip on the bezel.

$160 USD (These are a set I made for somebody last year with the 90* edge).

I sent a sample to a gentleman with an 82-84 and am waiting to find out how fitment is. I am hopeful.

Re: Firebird / Trans Am Gauge Bezels
 
i test fit one of these bezels on my 1984 Trans Am gauge housing. it looks sweet straight on, but it does not fit. the gauge openings are somewhat oblong so there is a slight gap at the top. the bezel also sits too high so there is a gap between the bezel lip and the housing face. here are some pictures:

Do you think they would work if I changed the depth?

battmann 11-24-2018 10:17 PM

Re: Firebird / Trans Am Gauge Bezels
 
I’ll take some measurements and see if the gap to the housing face is consistent. If it is then it may work with the shorter depth. The top gap might not be as noticeable if the bezel was right on the housing face.

Check this thread out: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...age-rings.html

It is missing a lot of pictures from the man who had the rings made, but it seems like they did have a little gap at top and bottom.

thanks for posting pictures of them in earlier dash! looks like they won't fit as is.

I'm ordering an earlier gauge cluster from thirdgenranch. Should be able to get something fitting them made.

Bump for the 85-92 trim rings. Should have something for the 82-84 when my gauge panel arrives from thirdgenranch.

Still waiting on my 82-84 gauge panel. Seems to be stuck in postal hell.

rgauder 12-19-2018 03:43 PM

Re: Firebird / Trans Am Gauge Bezels
 
I can make them for the 82-84 clusters. They just have to be made a little shorter than for the later dash.

I love these things man, I really really do. I want some bad! But $160 is kinda steep for me. Are you negotiable on price at all?

You should consider having a fully polished option....
I think they would look even more awesome with a polished finish

These things are neat. I’m not sure they work for me in every application but I can see certain instances (cars I’ve seen) where these would be trick and add that finishing touch. And like Biz said polished would be killer, and I was thinking even anodized or powder coat would be another cool option. Good luck with marketing these always nice to see people create new items like this!
