eBay. You can buy the entire clusters for $25-$50.

I can remember that there was a member either here, or on LS1.com that used to sell them for around $25...

If you mean just the TA Bezel, you cannot get them from GM. They are a discontinued part. I used to have 2 cases of them, but we've sold them all.

Ah yes, I remember now - you were the one selling them. Funny how GM discontinues parts that you always need

None to be found anywhere then? Really don't want a used one since it would probably already have the normal scratches from people removing them and not taking care...

Can you take that plastic piece off the lens? I asked in another thread but got no attention. I recently picked up a full cluster for 25 bucks at a pick n pull salvage place. Might try there.

The clear lens is plastic welded to the black part that you see thru the lens that surrounds the gages when installed to form an assembly - they are not easily seperated.

The assembly is seperate from the gage cluster however, and can be removed.

I want a new, pristine lens without scratches - used one won't cut it as most people are not careful when they remove the gage cluster from the car and gouge the living snot out of the plastic lens getting it out past the steering column or when removing/installing the black plastic gage bezel...

You could probably contact MacEwen Motorsports or WS6Store as they sell the t/a bezels with the Camaro kits. Maybe you could buy it separate?

Don't try buying directly from Macewen as you probably won't be happy with the service. I never received my bezel from him and he never answered his phone or email. After a few weeks i called my credit card company and told them to cancel the charge if it shows up and i sent him an email saying to cancel my order. I never got a response and i never got charged. I ended up getting mine from the local salvage yard. I bought some plastic polish and about 30mins later it looked like new.

I emailed WS6 Store - they replied right away - out of stock right now but expect a new batch in a month...

If they are discontinued from GM they must be getting them from an aftermarket supplier.
