Default New JPM Product

Ok, had to get some issues with green stars worked out between my last post about this and now

Anyway, I managed to get pics of the item installed this time. For those that don't remember, JPM is coming out with a OEM color matched dash trim bezel. It's painted tastefully in high quality automotive paint (base and clear) and buffed to a shine equal to that of your car. The colors are all matched to OEM specs

Here's some pics of the raw bezel:





Some with the instruments installed:





And a couple instlled in the car:





I plan on doing gloss black on mine like the new vettes. I'm sure silverstone would look great as well. I know some of the earlier models had a silver bezel and it looked great. This takes it to the next level by actually matching it exactly to the outside paint. What do you guys think?

this would probably look good with cars with the red and black seats. but that black gloss idea sounds really good.

imo, metal trim would look better, like brushed aluminum

My shop can actually make a brushed aluminum effect on it. Looks pretty cool. Don't know how close we can get to the OEM look though.

I can't decide about the NFR...

However, I would think the black or a Silverstone would look sharp!

i like the idea (especially since my interior is black/red) but i think the clear coat makes it look too much like the outside of the car.

i think i would prefer a flat red or possibly a brushed aluminum. are you gonna sell these? (im kinda new, dont know how JPM is).

i'd be interested.

Absolutely,

Prices are already up on the JPM website (www.jpmaccessories.com). I'll have a GB with them up in the next few days as well. Those will hopefully be discounted if I can get an initial order of 10 or more.

My car is Sebring Silver with solid red interior. I always hated the bezel and door handle trim not matching anything else. I also hate the polished handbrake button sitting next to the brushed shifter.
