I have my gauges there now, I just have them in gauge cups, and they stick out further yet. But I like the cleaner look of this new one. It'* all painted up and I'll have it installed tomorrow.

The hammered didn't look right at all. I stopped at 3 different stores, and not one had crinkle paint. I went with a lite stone. I'll see how it looks in the morning. But I thought it looked good.

I've seen the "Stone" ones and wondered how they work out. Anxious to see. I have some patio furniture that needs a fresh look.

As it is right now, you can't tell unless you really really look close. Not as smooth as factory, but the look is right there. Next one will be sanded between the texture and color. That should take care of that.
