Default T/A Bezel in my Camaro....

I just got a T/A bezel and put it in my 98 Camaro. This is the best interior mod for any Camaro IMO.

If you put one of these in a 98, you'll have to remove the 2 'stop pegs' for the tach and speedometer needles. Once you put the bezel in, the hole from the stop peg on the speedo shows so what I did was cut the peg down and put it back in. Looks like a tiny plug.

I love the looks of these...too bad the 'cheapy' camaros never got them

Thanks, I got it from a member here named Nearly_Gone in the for sale section. He was parting out a T/A. I've seen a few of these for sale but each time I PMd the person it was already sold.

However, if you want to buy a brand new one, you can get them at macewenmotorsports.com for $39.

Also, the thing that looks like a scratch on the bezel is a reflection. If you look right below the zero on the '150', that little bump was the stock needle stop. That's the one you have to plug otherwise you'll have a hole. The tach needle stop hole is covered by the bezel.

If you try to get one from him plan on calling Ryan Macewen a lot and badgering him in order to get your parts. I had to call him a several times and it took over a month to get my gauge bezel. It also took me over a month and many phone calls to get my white faced gauge overlays.

It's definitely a great mod...I left the original stop pegs on mine...they didn't interfere...if you look close enough at it you can see that there are two stop pins, but it doesn't bother me and no one has ever noticed and pointed it out...

Why would you buy a stainless overlay if you're going to paint it black?

I bought my overlays and bezel from them a couple years ago. It was shipped fast and have had no problems.

WS6 store sell the guages and bezel (might give them a call and see if they'd sell the bezel seperately)

Yes they do, I bought their white faced gauges and the TA bezel together and I must say they look great.

I ordered a replacement lens/bezel assy from MacEwen in OCT....the $$ still hasn't been pulled from the account, and I still haven't recieved them, have no such luck of contacting Ryan either....So now I am stuck if the order will be processed (ordered it from the net), and I end up with 2, if I get one elsewhere, or if I will never get it....
