GOD I AM SO PISSED....... ...I saw a post on here about someone selling Bezles for people who were getting white face gauges and wanted a T/A Bezel. Well I e-mailed him and wanted to get 2 of them. A freind wanted one also. So I sent him the money for them $90.00 ($45.00 a piece). I waited for about a month for these things. Then I finally get them and they look like crap. The guy hand cut them. And the paint job on them looked liek crap too. So the guy said that if anything was wrong with them or if I dont like them just send them back and I will get my money back..YEAH RIGHT.....I e-mail him and tell him that we didn't want them. Even if I liked them I couldnt use them anyway because the gauges that I got (NR) the embles for the gas,temp,volts,oil are inside the gauge adn these Bezles only worked for the stock gauges. Well anyway I go ahead and send them back and now I am not gettting my money back. I have been talking to the guy over AOL and he has been a pain the @$$. He told me that he gets them from someone else and that he just sells them for him. And he told me that I sent them back and that one was bent and the other one was broke. You can't bend this plastic. I was so thin, once you get to a certain point it would just break. And I sent them back in the same envople he sent them to me in. I am not sure what the guy goes by on here but his e-mail adress is KrausCod@aol.com. Maybe the moderators on here can find who it is and not let him post on here ever again. I am REALLY PISSED OFF. I am not sure if the guy posts on here or SSOA. I will be posting this in both places. Thanks

Yikess...what part is that he sent you? Was it just a GM TransAm bezel that you are putting in your SS? I've noticed some discussion about that but I'm not sure what people are doing. If it is a GM part maybe I can help you get one at cost (plus some cheap shipping). Anyway...that sucks.

That sucks. Just out of curiosity, is the person you're dealing with down in Albuquerque, NM? Before GM was offering the TA bezels as a separate part, I was emailing some guy down there about aftermarket bezels he was making. The picture he sent of the final product didn't look all that great, so I never ordered one. Just curious if it was the same guy.

Yeah he was from there. His gauges suck. They looked like total crap. What the guy did was, he must have just bought a huge piece of plastic and hand cut them and then filed down the edges....When I pulled them out of the bag, I hated them front the start, and when I showed my friend he said the same thing....And he charged me 45 bucks......When I went to gmpartsdirect.com and ordered the same bezel that comes in the trans am, a ac delco part, for 22 bucks.......it fit toaly perfect and looked awesome and it even came with the clear lens part that covers the gauges...........DONT ORDER FROM THIS GUY.........And the worst part about it was, this guy was total rude to me....

It was just a Bezle the guys friend was making. The one from gmpartsdirect is the lens with the bezel built right onto it. It looks awesome. It's a ac delco part and is the same thing used in the trans am. It only cost 22.00, the other guy was charging 45.....What a ripp off.
