Dual and Single Pod Dash Bezel (Updated Pics)
FS: Dec 15, 2012 ALL SOLD! .
You are looking at the result of HOURS AND HOURS of sanding using 60 grit, 100 grit, 180 grit, 220 grit, 400, 800 and even a 1000 grit in order to do it right. Ask anyone who has done these before, and they will attest to the amount of labor that is required.
Color: Satin black plastic spray paint about 3 coats
Clear Coat: Yes, about 3 light coats.
Be advised. I did not like the straight on look. So I angled the pods up and slanted them inward. In other words, they are slightly slanted up towards your eyes so that you can read the gauge better.
Single:Right Side only
Lowered:Last one SOLD I will absorb Paypal cost
Double:
All Sold--Paypal $155 shipped I will absorb Paypal cost
**I will pay shipping and give you a Tracking number. I will only ship US Post Office within the 48 US Contiguous states.PM me if interested.

The next few pics are of my first test version Left side Bezel. Been in car since May. This is only for reference to see what the left side of the DUALs look like. --Left UNPAINTED to check for cracks. None noted

ExSoccer and Rhanes: thanks, I have been working on these little by little since March. I haven't been in a hurry. Just sanding and sanding, and sanding over and over and over on the weekends during my free time. I have a few more in the works. I just have a few sanding blisters that need to heal.
Sylver, sent you PM

Here is a picture to show the slight angle up to the driver's eyes. The picture is taken straight above and hopefully you can see the gauge is slightly slanted up and to the side. It isn't much, so don't worry. It's just enough to help our focal point.

EXsoccer: I guess that is the correct size. The gauge perfectly fits in the hole. No problem. I also have an Innovate motorsports Wideband LC2 digital gauge that also fits but it was a very very tight fit in my Cobalt SS. In other words, the Innovate motorsports "digital" gauge is just a hair wider than 2 1/16". So I had to push a little harder to make it fit.
Raymoore: I think I have four more in the works. I will keep this going as long as they are available.

Great question. I have my trial version still in my car unpainted. I have had it in there since May time frame. I left it unpainted to account for the paint and clear coat compensating and holding it together. I have driven about 10,000 miles since May with quite a few times in boost. I did examine it earlier today, and it was still perfect. I don't know what else to say about this. I have had no experience in my trial version with cracking.
