I ------- hate UPS!
Stupid UPS! I got a bezel to hold my boost gauge and egt gauge off ebay. $27.99us+$18us shipping. The bezel alone was $39cdn once you convert it. Then when the thing gets to my ------- door this morning I owe another $23.95cdn for brokerage ($16) and tax ($7.95).. free trade agreement my ***! The money I had to pay at my door works out to be more than half of what the original price was!
Grrrr..i'm soo mad. Anyways, the bezel looks good, can't wait to get it installed.
Dr.Boost: I know you hate USPS, but this is why Canadians prefer shipping from USPS, because when it gets to our doors, we don't have to pay these retarded prices.

*edit* here are some pics.. sorry for the venting in the post.
Here it is with my egt gauge (it's not staying there, my boost gauge and oil pressure gauge will be in it):

Re:I ------- hate UPS!
let us know how the bezel fits, i think it's the same one i was looking at but i was a little skeptical as to how the cheap one would fit, how's the finish on it also? as far as the ups man raping you, you should stake him out and jump out of a bush and rob him and get your money back.

Re:I ------- hate UPS!
I always liked that pod style ,very clean and it doesn't stand out like the pillars ones. I wanted to make something like that for my car but then i decided to ripe out the dash and make it like a drag car 
. I can relate on USPS i had my fair share of there costs ,it can get way overhand.
