These rallye dash bezel overlays are the fricken best
I just finished a cosmetic overhaul of a rallye dash bezel out of a '67 Dart that am installing in my '71 Duster 340 4-speed. The bezel that I bought was nice, but all the colors were wrong and it had a DODGE exterior emblem mounted to the glove box trim piece. The linked video does not capture everything I did to make it right, but shows a time-lapse of the final installation of the lower overlays, and it has some before and after pics, some of which I've attached below.
I can't say enough good things about the overlays I got from Detroit Muscle Technologies. They are affordable, shipped quickly, and are really nice and save you a ton of time and trouble over painting or other types of restoration. They stock any config you could possibly need.
And I used a 3M thin, clear, double-stick tape to mount them, which holds them as well as glue, but makes them easier to install and easily removable.

Pics of the glove box rehab:
(Exterior emblem that I removed)
(Shows the repair of the holes where the emblem was and then the overlay install)
(This was an earlier iteration using a silver overlay that I painted, but ultimately decided to get the correct black)
The rest of these show some of finishing touches ahead of the lower overlay installation and the finished product:
(Shows the area I painted around the radio knobs and the cracked corner piece drying after being epoxied)
I smoothed the wrinkles from the end piece that I didn't notice until I watched the video:
