nice touch.

If there were more aluminum accentsm then it would look more in place.

I agree... doesnt make it look better, nor worse! :-)

Thank you.

They seems to punctuate the dark interior setting in a very subtle way

It's not subtle. It's ugly. Aluminum on black plastic? Come on.

Are those the pieces machined by Hchon, or something like that? A member on this forum.

I think they look nice, IMO.

i personally really like them. I think it gives a good touch on the all-black dash board.

Can anyone tell me where to get them?

I don't see how they're ugly? I think they definitely give the interior a nice touch. I put them on my ride and all I get are compliments.

I have the radio control knobs as well and the dash does look better with them. They are a nice compliment to the all black dash. All i have gotten are good comments as well.

I got those rings as well. Real subtle against the dark burlwood meter kit.

I am still thinking about getting a set of these accent rings too. Are they easy to install?
