Are there any replacement dash gauge lenses or kits for this? I ask because i had to remove mine to paint the bezel and as it is very fragile(GM OEM plastic, ya gotta love it) it cracked all to hell and I simply took it off all the way.

I haven't seen any kits or anything.....you might want to try ebay and see what they have. Last resort.....dealership ($$$).

I know that APC makes the Euro Style kit in different colors but for cars,although, the description for it says they have them for almost any make and model car or truck. Guess I will have to keep my eyes open.
Ouch! ok just had a brain spasm, if I had the exact sizes I could go and get some plastic rings, machine them(sanding,cutting to fit) then spray em, more than likely have to superglue em on and try to find some kind of plastic for a lens. That would be a last resort as it would be a major pain in the

to do.

I just e-mailed APC's customer service about having these euro dash kits for my 2000 Blazer S-10, maybe if I'm lucky I will get a response, also asked if there were any other products like that for my truck as well. Ya never know I may get an answer(sigh).

Ok, so heres the deal, I got a response to my e-mail to APC and it was pretty short and sweet, no euro dash kits for S-10's,

oh well, any other ideas from anyone would be great.

Sounds to me it's just the bezel trim piece. I'd call or e-mail them to make sure before I'd do any buying. Have it writing (or e-mail) that says that it's what you want and that if it isn't, you can return it. <----just my 2 cents.

alright heres the skinny, no replacement dash kits as far as our tucks go, if ya want on ya have to own a ricer, guess trucks arent good enough to have the cool stuff made for em. I do have some info to pass along as far as the bezel goes for a 2000 s10 Blazer or any truck that can cross over with the same piece the ID for the big gauges is 4 3/16" and the small ones are 2". so if your out to make some homemade or custom bezel rings, angled rings or some bezel eyebrows hope this helps! oh and the instrument cluster lense, might as well head on over to a dealership cause it aint nowhere else but there that you can get one, as far as part numbers go, no clue just ask em they should be able to tell ya that.
