I really like the new gauge bezel, from behind the wheel, its probably as noticeable as the new tails are from the rear!!

Nice work bit!

The only thing different about the guage bezel is the material right? Are the turn signals moved any lower? Cause i can't see the deng thing becuase my steering wheel blocks it.

The 01+ guage pod is a different, darker grey material than the earlier one, plus there are light silver rings around the guages themselves which look really nice.

And yes, the turn signals are lower (they obviously heard complaints like you have).

Very Nice Mods! The tails really update the vehicle and the new gauge pod looks very modern.

Everything looks great, esp. the gauge!

Got a question, since the placement of the turn signal is lower on the gauge...how was the turn signal on the dash lowered?

Huh? If you are asking about behind the guage, there is a new wiring harness that is needed in addition to the guage.
