I have to know, since my GT is an '05 and I've probably never seen an '06, are their really "high gloss" dash gage bezels in the '06? Check this on eBay:

Maybe just bad pictures but to me it looks like it's been painted with a paintbrush....:confused

OEM is not powdercoated if I remember correctly. It is a brushed Anodized black finish. I could be wrong though, since I usually am. :biggrin

Mine looks like the brushed anodized black finish ROCMAN. I think you're right. It doesn't make sense why Ford would use a high gloss anything. Usually you see a flat black, etc to prevent glare. Thanks...:thumbsup

There are two different ones. The 05s have the brushed metal look and the 06 have a cast look. neither are a high gloss.

I thought a 06 owner stated he had the brushed in that other thread? I could be wrong though.

I have an early 06 and mine is the brushed anodized one. I got the car new from the dealer in Dec 05.

I think the cast in the 06's started in mid 06
