Exclamation Source for gauge bezel?

I am considering a new gauge bezel for my dash since I will be constantly looking at this item as I drive. Let's hear suggestions for a vendor and possible price. Brothers has one for around 100 dollars that is supposed to be made in USA.
Naturally, want the best quality for the best price.

What are the members' suggestions?

Re: Source for gauge bezel?

Brothers bezels ARE made in USA, I have purchased well over 50 of them and they ARE much better than the $30 Ebay jobs. The chrome is outstanding, and the fit is better as well. I don't remeber them being $100, but maybe $69 or so...Randy

Byrd is the expert on bezels as far as I can see. He's built some nice ones.

thanks guys, as usual the best quality calls for the highest price.
the three hole bezel is right around 100 dollars.

Yeah, the three hole is a low production #= higher cost
