Wood Grain Dash Bezel Facia Kits
« on: January 10, 2015 - 11:22:30 AM »
The wood grain Dash Bezel Facia Kits that come flat from PG or BE&A, how difficult is it to bend/shape them to fit on the dash bezel?

I am debating on whether not to purchase a flat kit or spend more for the pre-shaped ones from Cargraphix.

Thanks all in advance.

I really didn't have much of a problem with the flat pieces from PG.

I had to use some epoxy on the back, and use some weights to get the corners to fit snug while the epoxy dried overnight.

Phone Dave at Performance Car Graphics. These are pre bent and you won't find a nicer reproduction.

I put the bend in my flat ones also using a 1 inch dowel to form the curve. Also, I had the originals to use as a guide as to where to bend. If you still have your old ones that'll definitely be a big help.

Here's what Alan said on their testimonials page...

David/Beth

The E Body wood grain piece that I received from you is absolutely amazing !!! This, hands down has got to be the best reproduction part that I've come across in years. Putting it beside the best available from BE&A or DMT is a joke ...you're light years ahead of them in correctness and details....
You need to get the word out about these things and BE&A and PG Classics will never sell another one of theirs !
If you could work on the price a little to better compete with the current offerings then you for flatten the compition....sad to say, there is still a lot of people where price is a more important factor ten correctness.
AGAIN.....an AMAZING part and you can be sure I'll be ordering more.....
