My gauge pod cluster bezel

just some pics of my progress so of my project. For now it's a single pod bezel, but I might go dual b4 I'm done. Any way here's some pics so far. I still have A LOT of work to do to it, but here it is so far, just dry fitting to see how i want to get it set in there.






more to come as I continue the project...I am taking my time on this one, kinda dragging my feet lol

You might want to angle it a little more facing you because its angled torwards the window. Keep up the work!

actually, it's just the way it looks in the pic but it's sitting straight forward.

yeah, but i wanted to keep it as far to the corner as i could cuase i dont really like the look of that big 'ol filled in flat space in the corner under the gauge.

actually, because your was nicer than mine it's sitting in my room staying nice and purdy in case I fudged mine up too bad or just didnt want it after its done. Just so i still have a nice clean one to put back in.

here you go
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ght=paint+trim
and for your wheel bezel
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ght=paint+trim
and the gauge cluster bezel if you choose to
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ght=paint+trim
and your interior door handles/switch bezels
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ighlight=paint
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ighlight=paint
this is how to pull the trim off
https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...ighlight=paint

or if you want to just wrap your trim in vinyl instead of paint
