I bought a autometer instument gauge bezel for my 99 eclipse and I must say it sucks.....it doesnt fit right, you can see the screws and they look like shit, and it just looks like a cheap cobb job. So my question is what are the best gauge bezels and setups for the most factory looking fit and finish. I have three gauges and beige interior. Thanks for the help.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE AUTOMETER GUAGE BEZEL, IS THE ONLY ONE OUT, IF YOU WANNA SELL IT DROP ME A EMAIL.

Mine, I have my 3 gauges in the center vents. I have a routered piece of plastic and the guages sit in the piece that replaces the center vents and hazzard buttons. OZ_GS (Chad) has seen it. I don't have a dig camera now so I can't show you. It's very effective and clean looking IMO.

Shit is all apart. Typical...

Gauge Works has an Instrument gauge bezel, only holds two gauges though. Unless you are talking about an A-pillar.

You could always spray the bezel a different color. You could even hide the screw heads by covering them in vinyl and then screwing them in place. This way the head would have a vinyl covering and look factory.

The autometer bezel should be a pretty good fit. It may be a defective piece, so try to return it and get another. There are several guys using that on here, and I cant recall any of them haveing complaints about it....I'd like to know though, cause I want one for 2 more gauges..

I have the instrument gauge bezel, and it fits to a tea, no problesm whatsoever. It's more flimsy than your stock bezel, but it does its job! I don't like it and probably will be selling mine soon.

I have the autometer bezel as well. It does it's job, I'll just put it that way. It's fitment isn't 100%, mine is a bit off, but maybe it was a defective unit......

well....i think it looks like shit. It is cheap and a shit fit for $70 bucks or whatever it cost. I sold mine. I want the best fitment in my car...not some half ass shit and I was wondering if anyone knew of anything that looks factory.

I got no complaints about either. Not like there are a million options for us. As long as they work and fit and look half way decent, I'll live with it.

weasle745: and then to top it off, im not even an attractive guy. I look like Millhouse from the Simpsons, cant put on weight if my life depended on it, etc

Well Stated.
Looks good too.
I'm not a show car person thou, just like it to look good in passing, and make sure everything is functional.
