from the dealer...I bought one, about $50 CDN ($30 US) and it is
SO MUCH BETTER...in fact, I HIGHLY recommend everyone do this "mod",
because after a few years and many cleanings, you'll inevitably get
swirl marks.

looks much better!!!

When I took apart my gauge cluster to install the chrome gauge rings, I didn't like the look of the plastic in front of the gauge rings, so I didn't reinstall the plastic.

If you are going to spend the $50 Can or $35 US to replace this, you might as well get chrome gauge rings, and forget about the plastic cover.

Honestly, I think it looks WAY better. Having both makes the chrome gauge rings look totally out of place. The best would obviously be glass lenses that come with the chrome gauge rings, but that would be asking for too much.

It does look VERY clean. I remember askin Sin if he cleaned his cover like crazy or something.
