Default new Gauge bezel and billet grille installed!

They arrived in the mail today. i'm really impressed with how both products turned out. the grille i had to drill holes for. and where i mounted it means i have to get some body filler and touch up paint to fill the hole left from the stock emblem.

let me know whatcha guys think.

and another thing. Next i'm going to get a black w/ chrome trim bowtie to mount on the billet grille MAYBE......

IF someone could maybe photoshop this on there for me? you can use the picture of my rear panel on my cardomain page to get the emblem or from wherever you can find one. it would be much appreciated will give me an idea of what it would look like.





and the new gauge cluster bezel before reassembling the dash.



and done.

the way i lined it up made it halfway over the front hole. i couldn't mount it any further forward. but i'll fill the hole and get it painted.
