Default Silver Trim Rings for the Instrument Pod/Air Vents?

I've been looking around for silver/aluminum trim rings for the speedo pod and the air vents. I just ordered an aluminum shift ****, and have the silver leather steering wheel in my xB, and I think that those trim rings would really complete the look-with the silver side trim on the console and at the base of the shifter. Do these exist? I would love to have some. Thanks in advance.

yea me too.
I even bought the trim ring piece in "brushed aluminum " from exotic wood dash.

but it doesn't really work.
Didn't even put it on.

would be nice to have a simple, elegant, retro trim ring.

anyone?

Are there any dash kit manufacturers that sell partial kits? I just want the trim rings, not 80 million bits of plastic.

i think the matrix has those chrome accents on their dash? and they sure look like they would fit the speedo.

exotic wood dash sold me just the parts I wanted.

They didn't fit as well as I had hoped...but the price was reasonable. (BTW the trim ring for the speedo doesn't really work....)

It's too wide for one thing.
also the circle isn't quit big enough. I doesn't fit very well.

and the layers of clear stuff on top keep it from looking like metal.

I also have 2 wood pieces for the top "Facing" part of the dash...and they are a tiny bit off too.. I've stuck them on now, so there is probably no fixing it ...but I should send in photo to let them know how to improve the fit.

but they are cheap. He sold mee the ring for 12 bucks and the other pieces were like 40 or something...
They will sell just bits.
