Default Carbon Fiber Instrument Bezel

Has anyone carbon fibered their instrument bezel? I know at least one person has. In addition to not liking the silver plastic temperature / fuel gauge, the surrounding bezel would look so much better in carbon fiber.
Cheers!

Looks like its a replacement piece, not a CF overlay/wrap.

I would be interested in this. Where did you find it/who sells it? Cost?

I refreshed the page and the picture popped up. Then I went into the person's album and copied it. Do not know which member it was. If the bezel is a one piece component that can be snapped in, count me in. This could be a game changer. I can't believe these carbon fiber vendors haven't thought about CFing this piece.

We did few locally, if there is interest can do a real CF overlay?

I would be up for a replacement piece. I'm not too interested in having to remove the OEM piece to send off and be overlaid.

Since the tach bezel is already black I'm more interested in the speedo and fuel/temp bezel. However, if it is all one piece then I'm happy with that too. I found the part. It is a cluster trim and retails for $68. I wonder if the piece pops out?

We never ask people to send us their items, it should fit on top of your stock one or can be replaced.

Let do it this way we will do one next month if people like it can do a special GB.
