Anybody know the light tan color for the bezel? SEM Santa Fe (15123) looks close from the chart, but spray can colors always look different in real life.

@ChaserFJ60 what paint did you use for the bezel? The color match looks really good.

I actually repainted my whole dash a few years back so the color match should be pretty close. I think I used khaki satin. Im going to hunt for a paint that I can include with dash kits in the future.
Ordered! Really happy with your radio bracket and was recently considering making a bezel myself. Can't beat this price though.
@ChaserFJ60 I designed a custom bezel for my truck using all carling switches (I rewired my truck completely). I cut out the panel on my CNC plasma cutter and epoxied it to the remnants of my *broken* OEM HVAC bezel. Could we work together on a 3d printed version of this with integrated mounts and whatnot? I have DXFs that I can provide.

I was actually planning on adding custom options for the bezel, one idea I had is almost exactly like how yours is laid out! Shoot me a PM and we can make something work!
I had a hard time telling how you panel was made, Its really well put together!

Only five more bezels available at the reduced cost of $120 during the Pre-order phase.
After these units have sold out the bezel wont be sold until production time and for $160.

Alright, So these sold pretty quick! 
I think there's only 2 more per-order units available.Thank you to everyone whose supported me in purchasing a bezel!
All the proceeds from the pre orders are being used to buy new and better equipment that's needed to produce these bezels. With this new equipment I'll be able to venture into new and bigger projects for the FJ60 community.

I'm waiting or you to 3D print an entire FJ60...

100 radio brackets sold!! Thanks again to everyone who purchased one!
The new equipment is enroute for the radio bezel production so it should be any-day now when they start shipping out!

Alright, the new needed equipment is in. Now comes the terrible part of tuning the machines.

First of all the bezel isn't ready to be shipped out yet, this is sort of a teaser.
Alright, Ive been hard at work trying to get the bezel as good as I possibly can. This new 3D printer is amazing but damn is it a learning curve, bigger build plates and nozzle sizes need much tighter tolerances and devotion.
I successfully completed my first bezel test print today and I'm pretty satisfied with my initial results. However, I'm still in the 3D printer and model tuning phase, given that I'm dealing with new equipment this may take more time initially to get setup properly which is critical if I'm to send out a quality part.
The final model will look very similar to this one but may have some differences.
The first test fit went pretty well. All the critical points are in spec but there are some discrepancy's to fix here and there. You can expect the piece sent to you to look very similar to this one. Sanding and painting will need to be done by the end user.
Here we can see the top face of the bezel. These steps will be present in the final product and will need to be sanded down by the user.
Here we see the back face of the bezel. It's a tad ugly and stringy, there's not much I can do about the back surface quality as its where the 3D printer puts support structures to save print material and to make the model dimensionaly accurate. The surface quality on the back isn't a huge deal as it will be hidden when installed and even though it looks bad, Ive taken steps to ensure that it wont effect the integrity of the model. I'm working on ways to make improvements where I can
Thanks to everyone who purchased a preorder unit! This would never be possible without your confidence and support in this project!
