Default cluster bezels.

I've noticed the GS430s have those cluster bezels for the gauges, I'm just wondering if there's kit for it for add-on my GS400.

Yes, you can buy the GS430 and associated wiring for the turn signals from Carson Toyota. I put one in my 98 GS.

Looks good, but would look even better with black or gray interior IMO

can't you just get the rings and stick them on??

btw, I love your monitor set up, that looks so OEM like.

No, they aren't really rings.... it's paint inside of the bezel. The whole surround is a different color too (which looks better IMO), plus the turn arrow blinkers inside are relocated to a better spot (at least for me) which is why you need the wiring connector.

Thanks for the compliment

I see that it is plug and play but how do you remove the bezel?

I think it just pops out. I'd be all over that if my car didn't come with it.

Hey chuck whats up. I thought about doing this mod. I think it is a very clean look. It is definately better than what I have now. Is the price on Ltuned website a good price? $159. Hey chuck are you planning on going to any of the meets in the area?

possible. Why, what's going on? I've also been wanting to go to the Bradenton track and do a few 1/4 mile runs just to see what my car really runs. Some kind of meet might be cool there. they have test and tune thurs nights.

Just grab the two walls in the middle and pull. Just be careful not to pull too hard as the turn signal lights and odo buttons are attached to the cover.

Most of us got it from Steve and the price sounds about right.

if it's too slippery (in my case), just feel all the way to the back of the bezel (when you hit the "glass"), you will see that the bezel actually doesn't touch the glass and you can use that area to pull it out
