Thumbs up ~Introducing Color Matched Gauge Bezzels ES/OZ/Evo~

Just testing the waters on an item I may be producing depending on how many people are interested. I am able to make vinyl gauge bezzel overlays in ANY color you may want. They will be easy to install, last forever, and will be very affordabl!. I will be able to do them in everything from brushed alluminum, carbon fiber, and all the colors that Lancer's and Evo's come in! They will be precision cut by a plotting machine for exact fitment and will be made to install under the clear glass of the gauges.

This is an example of what they will look like installed:



If all goes well, bezzles for the ES crew will also be made using the idea byKidlancer7 and Driftrunsir, which will look like this and will be available in the same colors.



Pricing is still up in the air, but will most likely be somewhere in the range of $40 shipped.

It would be a carbon fiber vinyl. This is a simple way to keep the cost down and mass produce them. If you go for real cf, you would be looking towards a price in the range of $80+ which is pretty steep for a gauge bezzel. Also, I can do yellow, blue, black, silver, white, and every color in between in a carbon fiber patern as well....

There is supposed to be around 40 too, possibly in real carbon fiber... if that were so, I would go that route... But good looking out... Any prototpyes yet?... And the overlay in your pic is aluminum right?... Just curious

Yes the one I have is alluminum, but I have a vinyl that you would never tell the difference. I would be willing to bet a gauge bezzel in it. Since these will be going behind the glass, why not save some cash and get something that looks just as good and that can be made to order (color wise).

This is perfect for anyone who wants one in a specific color or pattern (ex. cf). If the demand is high enough, I can get one to your door within a week after placing your CTO (custom to order) bezzel.

$40 bux for a sheet of vinyl ??? hmm That seems kinda high considering you can order a whole role for under 30. JUST MY OPINION.

Its not the vinyl that is expensive but it is not $30 a roll (unless you deiced to do the ebay special ofr 5ft or whatever ), its the equpitment needed. I have a plotter that is made to precision cut vinyl, which will ensure quality and perfect fitment.
