Sorry Guys
I just got home from work and found my inbox full. I just did a little house cleaning. Should now have some room open for more PM's.
Update on first 10 sets. They are all gone.
Good news to the ones that got them and also good news for the ones that didn't. I got such a great responses that I'm going to have to go into work this weekend and make more. I will have around 10 to 15 more sets to ship out immediately on Monday. So if you missed out on the first ten sets, your wait will only be a couple more days. Thanks for all your orders guys. I hope you like them as much as I do mine.
To all those that have E-mailed me or sent me a PM, I am responding to you all. Just got a little crazy here. You will all hear from me today or tomorrow.
Thanks again.

Bezels Important Notice!
DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE!!!!!
One of the other guys used it and he said it ruined his black bezels and also his clear plastic cover. He said he may have used to much and didn't let it dry completely. So if you are going to use something maybe just some double sided tape or clear silicone sealant, something that will not emit fumes.
Also too everyone that has already purchased a set I am going to make the 2 small rings to have the same fit as the larger one. It definitely doesn't need any adhesive. When they turn out, I will ship you 2 new small rings.

Superglue has some nasty fumes whilst drying. I found this out the hard way.
If you do use any type of adheasive, give it plenty of time to dry before re-assembly of your cluster. Lack of patients at this stage will reign disaster!! Live and learn.
Best best is to wait for Dave to make the new batch of smaller rings. The Large center ring pressure fits, with no problems. What I did was just foolish (and I'm old enough to know better, but it happens!!!)
Thanks for the update DaveB. Appreciate your concern.
Happy Holidays,
Jim

Installed Bezels WOW!!!
Dave,
I installed the bezels yesterday. They look fantastic. They really improve the appearence of the gauge cluster. I highly recommend them for anyone interested. The second set's slip fit was great. I drove all day on Ohio's pot-holed road, not a bezel flying in sight. Thanks from all of us for your great customer service, packaging, etc. If you do MT pedals. I'll be the first on the list.
Thanks
Mickey

I want a set... if it'll fit over new "overlays"
Dave,
I just got these aluminum overlays from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1874710245 and was wondering if it'll fit over them. If they will I NEED/WANT a set of the gauge bezels from you. Thanks.

Couldn't agree more with the others, super quick service and professional workmanship.
FYI to everyone, they fit my 1999 LX perfectly.
Let us know with future products.
Thanks Dave!

Protege5Lava, I was told that they will work with the overlay.
Thanks for all the complements guys, I'm glad you like them.
