Gen 1, and CE's had the surround bezel's made with thick resin, and can develop cracks. Gen 2's are very thin, and like just painted. Color is a little different, but by clear coating, the bezel matches pretty good. Even with non wood shifter, the cleared bezel's up grade the wood look. If your not happy with the color match, re do the shifter, sand, stain, and clearcoat, to match. Cleared bezel matches pretty good.
