FINISHED my indeglo guages PICS inside but need some ideas

Roger · 12-09-04, 08:48 AM

ok well i just finished the indiglo guage install, it went pretty well the good news is all my needles still work i was very worried abou that and at many points thought i was gonna break them during the install.

The only thing that dident go so well was painting the silver rings i should of hand painted them like others had done but i tryed to mask off around the rings and it dident come out that even, i had some over spray so i tryed using a very low strengh paint thinner and it was working but i rubbed some areas to much and the stock bazel started to dull. You can sorta tell in the pics but i need to do somthing about it. Here are my options

1.) I was thinking about buying a CF bazel which would cover up the mistakes i made but i was still have the appearence of the silver rings cause the CF bazel dosent go down all the way in the circles. Like the pic below

2) i could just paint the stock bazel all black like stock and forget the rings

3) i could paint the whole bazel silver, not sure if i like this idea might be to much to look at.

4) find a new stock bazel and leave it alone, i have no idea where i would find one though anyone?

Here are the pics of my install

PS these guages are awesome they look sweet at night i went throught a phase where i dident like guages then i thought about them then i was hesitant but i got sick of looking at the some guage i guess its just all about change.

what do u mean silver with rings??? if i paint the bazel silver then the rings wont really appear to be rings, your saying paint the whole bazel silver??

Im glad you received and installed your gauges. I like how the sliver rings look, at least in the picture you cant see any imperfections. I'd just leave it alone if its not to noticeable.

Sorry, i met to say, this looks good already:

But What i met by silver with silver rings was paint the bezel siver and get some chrome rings.... --=Keith

I agree with Keith, I like the pic he posted. I don't know the Carbon Fiber takes away from it somehow....looks better without?

JTJohnny102 · 12-09-04, 11:51 PM

yeh i did bid on one but i canceled it before the auction ended there was about 14 hours or so left on the auction, something about it kinda thru it off in the picture so i decided i didnt want them..so are those actual rings or just painted on? lol im still confused

Roger · 12-10-04, 01:07 AM

thouse are painted on rings i wish i could find some crome rings

--ps i got convinced to buy the CF yesterday and clicked buy it now on an ebay auction i wish i hadent but i dont think i can retract.

*stevieray* · 12-10-04, 02:04 AM

Just the silver rings. BTW, it's bezel not bazel.

blitz · 12-10-04, 02:23 AM

where did you get those gauges, they look nice and simple like in chysler 300

91LSMAN · 12-10-04, 02:42 AM

I really like the way it looks now.

Roger · 12-10-04, 03:18 AM
