Hey,

I currently own an E92 M3 with an ESS vt2-625 supercharger kit and I am looking to purchase the aquamist hfs-3 kit to aid in IAT suppression. I am curious if the bezel on the gauge could be customized? Here is my current gauge setup:

I am looking to take the leftmost gauge out and replace it with the aquamist controller. I think the bezel around the aquamist gauge would ruin the appearance of my setup, so I was wondering if there was way the bezel around the aquamist gauge could be removed? Or could I have it customized to be 1/2 its original thickness? Or essentially altered in any other way in order to make it go with the look of my current setup. Thank you very much!

what is the outside diameter of the gauge bezel?

I know that online it says the gauge is 52mm, I am not sure the diameter of it :( (and by thickness i mean if your looking at the gauge from its profile, not directly head-on - a better word would probably be the "depth," meaning im looking to have the gauge relatively on the surfact of the pod, and not look deeply recessed into the bezel)

The transparent front protrudes further than the aquamist but the gauge face is recessed more than the aquamist gauge face.

This is the nearest match Howerton offers:

Can the deleted gauge bezel be separated from the body? Might just use the bezel for the aquamist gauge.
