Title: Teak radio bezel reproduced?
Post by: BillEBobb on April 30, 2010, 07:04:15 PM

Have any of you seen the teak radio bezel reproduced?  If so, by whom?

Thanx, Bill

I bought the light walnut/teak woodgrain material from NPD and stuck it on a new repro bezel.

How does it look?

Not sure my very subjective reply will help you much, but I would say it looks good.  The fit was OK (not perfect) and the woodgrain color is a match for the new repro console shift plate I installed at the same time.  Not a perfect match to the original dash/clock surrounds IMO, but close enough to look "factory" and those two items are far enough away that you can't directly compare the woodgrains.

I'm not sure what the alternatives are anyway???  I have never seen a NOS light walnut/teak radio bezel.
