Cool Gauge Pod Bezel

So I just finished my gauge bezel.
I think it turned out really good. Could've been a little better, but good nonetheless.
I thought I'd share it with ya guys.

They are fairly easy to make- they just take a lot of time. 3m red filler and a lot of sanding to get the pits out.

I didn't make any modification to the pod itself other than the putty. I didn't cut any of it so that's why I think it looks a bit strange
