Default Converting ss guages to TA bezel?

Anyone do this. I loved how my ws6 looked with silver guages. Let me know if this can be done. Do I just get the plastic bezel piece from a ta or what?

you can actually buy that bezel off ebay for about $15-$25 if I remember correctly. Getting it to fit I have no clue on.

It's the same gauge, so it will fit with no problem. I put my buddy's WS6 gauge bezel on my car a while back, and it fit fine.

I did this on my camaro right before I bought the T/A. I actually got a V6 Firebird gauge cluster for $7 off of ebay. Trashed the gauges and pulled the bezel. There is a finger that you will have to break off of the back of the bezel before it will fit, but its really easy.

I've got the Camaro for sale and if your willing to swap, we can pull it apart this weekend and I'll give you the bezel.

Im off on sundays and mondays so wednesday is pretty much out. Im down in Clear Lake. Should only take a few minutes. Just pull the bezel/clear face off of yours and swap it out for mine. I'd really like to do it all at once considering the car is for sale. Last thing I need is for someone to show up wanting to drive it and its torn apart.

I'll send you a pm w/ my cell.
