[V8Manu]

Hi Guys. I am looking for the headlight bezels for my 63' Polara 500 convertible. After searching on internet, i have found this pics.

These are black inside, but they are not original.

The originals have to be like this

I like the black ones. First i think it could be the bezels of a 64' Polara, but they are not. What kind of ring should it be?? Maybe someone can help. Thanks. Regards.

I think them are Polara 500 headlight bezels.

Hi. I have a Polara 500. So you think, that the rings on the black Polara are for the Polara 500, but these on the red car?? Are these for the normal Polara? I don't know.
Look at this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400228618336?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

They are very expensive:icon_neutral:

Yeah, it was just a guess. The 500 models usually had more flash and some different trim. Those you linked to on Ebay are the right ones, minus the paint. You can see the indentions in them at 6, 12, 3 and 9. The red car you posted appears not to have the indentions. The bezels generally are pretty high, but I think I would look around. That ebay seller is Frank Mitchell. He's located up the road from me in north Georgia. His prices are somewhat high on a lot of things.....although in his defense, he sells nice stuff that sometimes cannot be found elsewhere. If you need it, he probably has it.

Ok thanks. Anyone an idea, where i can get the bezels otherwise?

Oof. Those are going to be hard to find, and probably costly. I don't have any of them. :-(

there is a company that makes them out of fiberglass, maybe sled city, not positive.
paint them and they are good for a driver or race car.

Pretty sure the two shown are the exact same. The black is just painted.

All the '63 Dodge headlight rings have the indentions where the black is stamped into them. It just doesn't show up clearly in picture that isn't painted.

Look at the red car. I don't see those indentions on those, do you? Maybe it's the camera angle, but they don't appear there. Now the Ebay ones, I agree, those are the same, sans paint.

You just can't see them due to the glare.

They are there.

Dodge 330 is correct...both the above photos are of the same bezel but one has the stamped part painted. I did the same on my '63 bezels.

Bezels are out there....you just need to spend some time looking for them.

 

[V8Manu]

So the Dodge 330 rings are the same? Thanks.

 

[RustyRatRod]

I wondered about that. But you sure as heck caint see um can you? Yeah if they got the indentions too, no doubt they are the same ones. They sure look better painted.

Thanks, i saw this too. I have made an email, but the guy did not answer me. I also see, that the passenger side ring is dammaged.

Bills Special T's reproduces them but they are spendy.

Mine were pretty dented up when I got the car but I stripped off the anodizing with Easy Off and massaged the dents out, wet sanded and polished.
