Message	i found a ton of posts in which people claim they dremeled out various plastic bits in our cars (ex: radio bezel) to mount stuff like turbo timer faces, but i haven't found anything that goes into any detail with regard to getting a professional looking finish. i'm thinking about trying this to mount my turbo timer in the oem clock spot. luckily i have a spare broken bezel to practice on, but the closer i can get to "right" from the start the better. anyone have any tips regarding how to keep the dremeled portions true and not looking, well, hacked? i guess i'm asking about finishing steps and perhaps special dremel bits. thanks. andrew davidoff
