Porsche 914 & 914/6 Gauge Cluster Bezels
They're Black...
...and that's about as exciting as it gets. Hey, not every part of a
car is interesting. We included this page about the gauge holder
because this is a section about gauge authenticity and model year
appropriateness, and the bezel material and finish changed prior to the
1975 model year. We leave no stone unturned here at P914.
