Thumbs up FVD Gauge Bezels - Very nice.

Just installed these and thought I would share a pic. I am very happy with the way these brighten up a somewhat toned down interior. At least for a black interior, to me these are a great improvment and are very sporty. My biggest decision was chosing between the aluminum and chrome, for my tastes, unless you have the carbon fiber stuff, aluminum is the way to go. John D's chrome with the carbon fiber is awesome, but that carbon fiber stuff costs some big bucks.

Rob: Looks great. The Aluminum bezels work with carbon fibre too.

I agree Rob, I just last week installed my bezel set from FVD. I opted for the chrome versions and love the improvment it made.
The interior needed a little zip, now it has got it.

Nice bezels guys, really nice. And also some very high quality images.

OT: Do you use digital camera's and if yes what make/model?

TIA, Nol

I have been getting a few questions on installtion. Installation is very easy, they just fit nicely over the existing bezels. I used some poster puddy (tip from another post) to stick them on for easy removal. They come with adhesive glue which I chose not to use.

Any pictures w/ Alum dials? Just wondering what that might look like. Too much color?

Congratulations, Rob. And here are the chrome bezels in case anyone was wondering what they look like. IMO, the poster putty adhesive method is the way to go - No damage to stock components and they can be removed at any time without a trace. Dayton, are you listening?

The poster putty may be the way to go but just as an FYI, I had some rubber cement handy so opted to use it instead of the adhesive that was supplied by FVD.
The rubber cement should break free and clean off easily if I ever need to remove the bezels.
By the way Dayton, what type of adhesive is it that FVD sent me?

Guys, these look great and are easier and probably cheaper than changing out the dials to aluminum (which i was looking into getting done). How much? and where do i get them? Thx Joe B.
