Default Do i need to have this??? (TA BEZEL)

i just got the gauges from Macewen Motorsports, (just the gauges, not the entire kit) when i noticed that it was for a 98-02 firebird. I figured it was the same thing until i noticed the price diffrence between camaro's and firebirds. is there a reason i need the TA BEZEL or is it just a useless add on?

You shouldn't NEED the TA bezel, it just improves the appearance (IMO)...it gives sort of a 3D look to the instrument panel.

Are these the Granatelli Motorsport's gauges for the f-bodies or did you get them somewhere else? How much did they cost you if you don't mind me asking?

Help me out here. I went to LG motorsport's website and did not see the 200 mph gauges. Could you help me by listing the website so I can look at these? Thanks

Hey Lawman, when you got those gauges, how hard was it to calibrate them? Did you just put them in or did you have to buy that calibration tool they sell?

You just remove your cluster and ship it to Granatelli and they install the new overlay, recalibate the speedometer to 200, and ship it back to you. Turnaround time for mine was about a week. It's very high quality...they replace the entire overlay as one-piece, as opposed to individual overlays for each gauge. Although it's pricey, I highly recommend it...adds a nice "cool factor"...
