eBay. Picked a new one up for like $20 shipped not even 2 weeks ago. People charge way to much for those on here! GL

The fact u say this means you have never built one and will you use the wrong materials and it will fail sooner or later.

sorry but just about every single bezel ive seen is done with body filler or something of the sort. it does stick to plastic. ive refurbished about 5 or 6 of them from other people doing them down here.... they are all over the board from un usable pieces of **** to useable but have all the wrong materials and look like complete dick. sorry im tired of all the whiney kids on here bitching about how much things cost..... ill put it in perspective...

CNT catback for my subaru costs 299.99 shipped to my door.... "t-304" stainless is what they say its made from, looks like a damn nice exhaust and especially at that price. moral of this.... chinese stainless rusts.... its going to rust sooner or later even though its said stainless. the muffler and resonator are mediocre at best. a good catback is up in the 600-750 range made with good stainless and titanium ones are around 1200.

bottom line is. theres only 2 other people i would ever buy gauge pods from that i consider worthy. all the rest are just junk and ive only seen 1 of those gauge pods in person. the other guy ive only seen pics but the work looks pretty good. you get what you pay for.

I don't know if what I use is up to your standards but the **** is STRONG placed one of the pieces in the wrong spot once, needed a hammer and chisel to remove it to relocate. I've had
No complaints from the ones I've sent out, nothing but good things said bout mine

your one of the "2"

most ive seen use autozone grade body filler which does not work. it will crack over time as it doesnt like plastic very much. i have to use a grinder to get mine out if they fall out of place. tried plastic them in the car and using adhesive in the car before plastic welding..... pain in the ass. find the gauge pod massacre thread on gmsc and you will see what a 150 bucks got the guy.
