Thanks for your review Curtis.  The whole shebang would cost about $1000 so that's a bit to much in my opinion.


Like Dick Hea...er, Richard Cranium said above, if yours aren't pitted too bad you might have them rechromed. My problem with that though is it's a tricky job because only the outer ring is supposed to be smooth chrome. The ribbed part is argent silver and then there's the black stripe. That's why I didn't get mine rechromed. I wasn't going to pay all that $$$ only to have them look wrong. Honestly I think grinding the PG Classic bezels down is the better option.
Don't you damage/break open the chrome when you grind the bezels down?

No, because the chrome is only on the front edge of the bezels. The part I had to grind was on the back edge of the bezels where the notches are cut out to fit over the housings. That area is just ribbed pot metal that's painted argent silver.

After looking over some previous comments I'm thinking I should have sent my bezels back. Apparently I'm alone in having to grind mine down. I tried to get them to fit every way I could think of before grinding on them but they just wouldn't go. :shruggy:
