Where is the best place to get a TA bezel? And what white face gages would yall suggest? I know I want to do the bezel but I am still thinking about the white face gages. Any help would be great.

I got mine from Steve Heino and others have gotten the bezel from Teri Lane on the board. Either might be able to hook you up . Drop them an email.

One thing that I will pass along is that there is a small "TAB" on the back that you have to break out. Nothing major but if you dont the bezel wont sit flat(from experence) .

Yes, there are 2 tabs on the back of the T/A bezel that the Camaro one does not have. You just have to cut/break these off. Also, make sure you take care not to pinch the speedo needle when you assemble it.
I think I have 5 of them left. They are $35.00 each, plus shipping.

Well golly gee. I put mine in a couple of weeks ago and wondered why it didn't sit flat.. I must have had to many "barley" pops before i installed it...

How compatible are those on the V6's? I know the speedo has a different range, has anyone tried to see if they are plug-and-play, or is any re-programming necessary?
Also, what about odometer? is it stored in bezel, or is data stored in pcm, so taht any bezel automatically shows identical mileage on the same car?

The bezel is just that, a bezel....it's not an instrument cluster.

The bezel should go right on. Your odometer will always save the numbers on it, even if you disconnect the battery, or remove the cluster.

duh, sorry, misunderstood. I was talking about the instrument cluster as far as compatibility.
Mr. Cotton's parrot: Same question.
Will replacing a cluster from a V6 bird be plug and play with a cluster from a V8? Or will the cluster have to be reprogrammed with anything???

There are six tabs on the back, two on the top and four across the bottom, which ones get broken off? KICKBACK

I had 1 tab that had to come off. It was in the middle of the bezel near the top' I think the 6 you are looking at hold the bezel in place.
