You know...I'm not really a big fan of the carbon fiber look, but that is a nice piece.

yeah i got my aluminum one from ebay too. About 20 bucks plus the cost of rings to make it look even better. I can't imagine having just the stock gauge look again. Here's mine.

ive got the same carbon piece, fit really well, i added gauge rings as well to finish off the look, i mainly just used the piece to cover up the fudge-ups that happened the first time i installed my rings. plan on going back to stock when i get the chance. my interior is too stock looking and the cf doenst match.

I just bought it on auction on ebay, the guys screenname is 2004momo i think and he still has more so I'd go for them while they're still there and i will get the guage rings but i think I'm going to paint them black so they don't stand out too much cuz I'm not all about the bling

i plan on getting the carbon fiber bezel with the rings and do it all at once as soon as i figure out exactly how to make the guages light up brighter with no hotspots.
