2G Instrument Bezel Gauge Mount Autometer eBay [Merged 3-7]

Sorry to bring this up, but I will be purchasing one of these for my beater soon.

There seems to be different variables surrounding these things.

At first I thought the biggest problem was not being able to fit some gauges int he pod due to depth issues.

I will be going with glow shift boost and oil pressure.

blackGSX2g, which gauge cluster pod and oil pressure gauge did you have which was causing you problems?

I really want to stay away from having to result in hacking the cluster face.

And the other issue it seems to be there are some brands which don't fit, and others that are fine.

It is obvious these REPLACE the stock cluster trim bezel, I am thinking of going with the glowshift brand cluster pod as well.

Looks like the attached pics on the thread are now inactive, does anybody have any recent input and pictures of theirs, problems, success, etc?
 
I have a few copies of each. From what I can tell, the fitting difficulties are on the part of the installers, not the parts. I recommend the cheapie. You don't really see it once it's in.
I had to do some fairly serious modifications to a VDO vac gauge to get it to fit, due to depth issues with the stock lighting in the gauge.
 
^^^ I'm going to have to disagree with you. I'm an fairly compitant installer when it comes to things like stereos, gauges, bezels, a-pillers, and just about any thing that involves a switch, electricity, and a clean install.

The Glowshit bezel I got is definitley not a correct fitment. As said before, specifically the depth of the bezel itself is about a 1/2" too short. When installed, there is a 1/2" gap between the clear OEM gauge cover and the Glowshit bezel. Also, it's not shaped to have a flush install with the outermost edge of the dashboard. Now, I'm not saying that it was made to fit over the OEM bezel, but it does fit over the OEM bezel perfectly (with the exception of the 1/2" shortness in depth), to me this is unacceptable. I'm not too worried about having to shave some of my clear OEM gauge cover to get my gauges installed, because the car wasn't designed to have gauges in that area. The bezel itself should fit 100% perfect though since it WAS designed to replace the original OEM bezel.

I don't wanna spend $50 on the bezel, but if that's what it takes to get a direct OEM replacement one, then I'm going to have to.
 
I bought mine a few years back from ebay as well and fitment was decent and like someone said as soon as it's in you can't tell. The only problem was the 2 screw holes were off by a little but nothing a dremel can't fix. And as for it being a little shinny i just sanded it down with fine grit sandpaper and repainted flat black. Also with my autometer boost gauge i had to trim the bolts a little bit but overall it looks really good.
