I've been looking at that myself, carbon fibre might set of the white dials.

Carbon fibre one might work, silver on white looks tacky IMO.
But if enough people are interested i can organise it?

Carbon fibre ones would be OK, shiny metal ones would look ghey.

I checked out the 2nd gen ones a while ago, they have an extra hole for where the odometer reset stick goes on the US ones, but the aus ones have this in the center of the speedo. Asked if they would make versions without this hole, and they said they couldn't be bothered.:rant:

Be creative, make a little mits symbol or something to fill the hole :).

That's for the 2nd Gen.

The 3rd Gen ones fit just fine, i have had one on a previous 3rd Gen of mine.

So who wants the bezel ?

Well they are quoting $45US for postage to Australia after I sent them a message. Naturally it would be cheaper for a group buy, but it would want to be alot cheaper.


Hi,

The shipping rate is $45.00.

Thank You,

you guys really think that brushed ali would look bad against the glow gauges? it would be alit more ideal for me as i have NO carbon look in my entire car (apart from my eclipse amp).. but with the ali comments, it might be my better option :(

just a thought after seeing that postage cost, maybe the stick on cfibre sheets your can get might be a cheaper option, i did a pair of wing mirrors for a fiat i owned and it worked out really well.

TRboy

I'm still in.

Let me know if it is going ahead and i'll choose which style i want at that stage.

Hate to break up the party but I have the brushed aluminium and they dont FIT properly.

In fact you will scratch the surrounding sides of your cluster. Modification to file it down may be necessary.

I got it quite cheap actually and would be willing to sell off mine if anyone wants it.

TRboy
05-01-2007, 07:12 AM
Yeah, alright, i'll take it.

Let me know how much and where you are at.

Erm, they have an EXTRA hole, which we don't need.

sorry to put a dampner on those with TJIIs, thats the same problem theres no reset botton. plus the cut out for the lcd display might be too small cause its designed for the earlier cluster.

About $32-40? With shipping. I think it was about $20+US shipping

I forgot, is a long time ago, and again please remember it doesnt fit straight in. Is bigger than the cluster filling may be needed.

Hope my info helps you guys to think about it.

Maybe some local metal-cutting places should be invesigated, might be able to get a better price locally, shouldn't be too hard to make up the template file if you can get together a few scrapped instrument clusters to trace. Just a thought, I've never tried getting pricing from them.

It doesn't fit straight in? How come? SOB! Does anyone have one that fits straight in?

For some reason is too big! And I am not making it up. Doing you guys a favour to reconsider buying them as you will need to be a bit technical involved in this mod.

I believe is average cost to be near $34.00 all up including shipping depends on the US exchange rate.

Cheers!

I can't sell my off yet as I am not in Perth.

No probs, when will you be back in Perth so i can buy this off you ?

I had one of these on a previous 3rd Gen Magna and it did take a lot of filing and bending to make it fit.

Happy to do it again so let me know when you are ready to sell.

Man should have read this thread properly before getting the bezel!!

Damn!!! It doesn't fit. Needs quite alot of filing to get them in my TH.
Anyone has any ideas?

And after all the dramas I went through to get them :rant:!!!

They took like 1 month or more to post it to me.
They never replied my e-mails, took damn long to reply some of them and the reply was worthless!!!

Ordered direct from their site though.

Lastly over changing me (credit card). Got to go down to the bank and get my money back!!!

Not worth the hassle, money and the effort in all counts!!!

Really regretting it!!!!

Cheers :cry:
