Are these all created equal? I see some for as low as 40 bucks and others for 95. What is the difference and what is recommended. I'm willing to buy the higher priced one if it is better, but I wonder if this is a part where one manufacture makes them for everyone.

Not shure I feel like sometimes company's intentionally make the price higher so you will buy it think its should be better quality. Wich yes that would be nice if that's how it worked but it's not.

Do you have any links for the $95.00 bezels? Seems a little high. There are only a few manufactures. I sell Counterpart brand for $50.00 plus shipping. A good bezel for the price. Most are equal in quality. All have some minor issues.

I also sell wood grain and carbon fiber bezels and gb doors. These are more money but good quality material.

Here are a couple different ones. Dakota Digital sells the one I listed from Summit.
I've heard that the black paint comes off the LMC one by rubbing your hand on it.???

Ok, I see. Summit is working with Dakota. As far as the cheap ones, I primarily work with Counterpart and have never had a complaint due to paint rub off.

I believe Dynacorn is its own manufacture. They make a nice one for a few extra dollars.
