Gauge Bezel?

[ChrisAU]

Anybody know the part number or where I can pick up the gauge bezel for an '07 Tahoe? Like the brushed metal one LTZ's have.

huh? brushed aluminum gauge bezel?

 

[ChrisAU]

Yes. Idk exactly how to describe, owned this thing for less than 16 hours now haha.

Lets see....I test drove a 2007 LTZ. The plastic surround around the gauges matched the "brushed metal" that is around the vents on the dash. That is what I am looking for, mine is black and from looking at autotrader even most LTZ's are black, but I have found a few that have what I am talking about.

You're going to have to post a pic. I have an '09 LTZ, and I have thin chrome bezels around each individual gauge in the instrument cluster, and chrome bezels around the ac controls, etc. Otherwise, I have no brushed pieces except for the ones you mentioned (along side the ac vents, etc.).

Wow finally found a good example on Autotrader...turns out these things aren't even close to standard on any trim level, look around the gauges, see how it matches the area around the dash vents:

You MIGHT be seeing the reflection of the chrome bezels that I mentioned in my post. But they're chrome, and not brushed. If there ARE brushed ones out there, then MAYBE they'd be on the Z71 models, since their door handles and whatnot are brushed, I believe.

Otherwise, if you're not talking about the rings that are inset around each individual gauge in the cluster, then I don't know what you're talking about.

Check this pic out. See the chrome rings? You talking about these?

No I'm telling you just this past Monday night I test drove an LTZ and that matched the dash vent surround with the "brushed metal" look. It was stark contrast to the LT I ended up buying yesterday, so it stood out. I am talking about the plastic inbetween the gauges, see how it is not black in the pic I posted?

 

[felixgun]

I have those but they are chrome. not brushed aluminum. came stock on LTZ.

I'm not saying that you didn't see what you saw, but the plastic that the gauges are sitting in is just that -- black plastic. The angle/glare of the pic might make it look like it's something else, but it's just black plastic in the pic.

...And mine is black plastic, too.

If you saw a matching blushed piece there, it was aftermarket. There're aftermarket wood grain pieces you can put there, too. But, again, it's all aftermarket, not oem.
