Loopdz get loopy off fumes (lots o pix)

Well as some of you may know i had a run in with a bad dash bezel. Well here i have a start to finish from when Broghtdowncustomz did my bezel that looked like @!#$ to what Loopdz did with it to make it a killer piece for my interior.


The Problem






The "solution"



What the bezel was made of... deffinately not fiberglass






















Whats this @!#$ doing in my car.... wait thats me and holy @!#$ was it cold out... were talking like 5 effing degrees!!!



The final product






So after 4 long months i have my bezel and couldnt be happier. Props go out to Loopdz aka Corey

You may notice some nicks... well when we were putting it in it bumped a couple things and the paint must not have been completely dry. its getting pulled back out for some fitment issues and to be repainted.

Did your boost needle fall off?



Im not knocking it ... but the color of the bezel doesnt flow to well with the interior.



Nice job though making it look way better then it used too.

The only thing i dont think looks good is the paint. Not the color but the actual paint job..it looks like @!#$. Other than that I like it. Whats that thing to the left of your HVAC

its my boost controller.

We painted it gloss black then sprayed a clear over it and on the second coat it got all goofy looking. either way its getting repainted due to some nicks that it got from installation.

why does it look like they are placed farther out from left to right? shouldnt it be that way from right to left? or is it just the pic angles?

ok i get now lol... maybe you could make some sort of a plastic rings to put underneath the farther out gauges so they can pop out a tad more?
just an idea to throw around and it would be pretty easy.

Hate to point out the obvious, but why did you go through the other guy in the first place, if you were able to make a badass bezel in the first place? The old bezel looks like broken ass. The one you made looks really good and smooth. Really nice job on this :-)

I didnt make it. My buddy Corey did. I would have attempted it but knowing now what i do there was a lot more involved to make a awesome bezel. Also i do not have a good warm place to use f/g all the garages i work in are cold as @!#$.

Well there were a few problems! First off the bezel was warped when i got it. Second we should have gotten new PVC. The PVC was hacked off at a horrible angle by Broghtdowncustomz and were also very short. None of the gauges even sat flush. Definitely should have gotten new PVC to start from scratch. I had to basically make my own cups to hold the gauges. That was a long and tedious process. This made it so they weren't all exactly the same size but quite close. Moral of the story do it right the FIRST time haha.
