Default speed inc gauge bezel

I bought a Speed Inc bezel for the trans am AC vent to fit my AEM wideband in. I removed the gauge and placed the bezel in the vent to see how it fits and it is loose and doesnt stay in place. Is there any certain instructions to this bezel?

Which vent? The center ones are a slightly smaller diameter than the outside ones. I have a Speed Inc bezel in my center section with the AEM wideband gauge and it fits perfectly.

I used the bezel in the far left vent and it didn't fit nicely like you mentioned. I took some black insulating foam around the bezel and it slid in nicely. Hasn't moved since I installed it two years ago and looks pretty good.

Yes, the middle vents are a bit smaller and it fits perfect. I had it in the driver side vent near the door and i moved it to the center vent closest to the driver, fits much better there.

Yea the peel and stick stuff from a home depot or lowes. Get a 3/8" by 5/8 or 7/16 thickness and you will be fine. Stick it to the outside of the speed inc bezel. The foam will compress a lot and create a snug fit which will not be noticeable.
