I'm starting this thread because I placed a wanted ad, which resulted in some feedback that the chrome on NOS bezels is often poor and may fade extremely quickly in the sun. I was told that perhaps Charles or Jeff might have had some personal experience with purchasing NOS bezels and being unhappy with the chrome fading quickly (?). Since these NOS bezels are so absurdly expensive, I wanted to post a thread on this topic before I spend big bucks. It's a royal pain in the rear to install these clusters into the car, especially when dealing with a tach. I'd prefer not to have to remove the cluster once installed.
I tried installed my cluster using the USA-made reproduction bezel and was thoroughly disgusted with how it fit. ---------> Has anyone else had this same experience? It fit horrible on the left side, especially where the heater control bezel meets the instrument cluster bezel.
Am I better off with the USA-made repro bezel, even if it doesn't fit well, or the NOS bezels which I'm told the chrome may degrade rapidly?
