Chrome Instrument Bezel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone purchased & installed a chrome instrument bezel from any of the venders? Quality, Fit & Finish? I destroyed my old one getting it out of the dash. I Kind of Taught it a Lesson getting it out and thought a Chrome one would look nice.

Rocknrod & val1gonzales,
Thanks for the info. I'm going to order one from them too!

Do those chrome bezels reflect a lot of glare back at the eyes on long drives? I had one of those chrome plated plastic jobbers on the glove box door and it always did that. I finally painted it satin black and wiped the script leaving only the "Chevrolet" in chrome.

I've driven my truck at night and never had that issue. The incandescent bulbs aren't that bright nor do the bulbs directly emitting light to the bezel.

Thanks Val, I should have been more specific. I meant sunlight.
