i could do that too. it just wouldnt match the vents unless i cut up a stock vent and epoxied it in place. it wouldnt move tho.

Would it be possible not to fill them? That way the stock look is still maintained. Then you would still see the symbols for the open and closed vent.

when i prime them, since the gauge is so close to that bar, i would have to prime over that bar so the symbols will be covered. but i can put the grooves in and paint them black. just the symbols wouldnt be there. but on the next one im doing i could try to save the symbols and the grooves if you would like

Another option too is to use the 98.5+ bezels. They have raised unpainted symbols instead of the 98 bezel being flat with white paint.

stock black:
sprayed black:
trim black is the closest i could get. the painter at my work said you will never match it perfectly but its the closest he knows
also this one needs one more coat in the vents and the part nearest to the gauge cluster.
