Hi Lloyd,

If you hold it up to an aftermarket bezel it will fit really nice in some areas and not very nice at all around other areas. The reason is some of these wood grain appliques are cut from a template that was based off of a OE bezel. If the wood grain is cut based off of a aftermarket bezel it may fit better but the problem is there are several suppliers of aftermarket bezels and they all have these small differences.

I actually have one here now that will not fit correctly. It will be very noticeable around the battery and oil pressure gauge holes where the applique is the thinnest.

I also have some wood grain appliques that will not fit an OE bezel correctly. You can see how frustrating this can be and ask some people on here about there experience and you will have many chapters to read.

I wish you good luck with your sale but I will have to pass on it for now.

Thank you,
Tom
