Chrome Trim Rings With Carbon Dash?

I know this is probably a very specific question that few have installed but I thought I'd ask. Does anyone have the full chrome interior ring set and the JCW carbon fiber dash installed (first gen r53)? Buying the carbon rings separate comes to a really high price so I am looking for an alternative on a budget (only paid $200 for my genuine dash). I am trying to get rid of most of the silver accents (have the non-anthracite downtubes etc.) plus up the quality of my interior. If anyone has these installed please post pics or say if both would go well together. I am thinking that the clear coating on the dash might go well with the shine of chrome. Thanks

I have the carbon dash/downtubes/etcetera as well as the chrome interior kit (although I replaced some small pieces with matte black, like the hazard switch bezel and the dimmer bezel.) I think it looks pretty good, but I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Alright, thanks can't wait to see the pics. I'm thinking about painting the downtubes black since I can't find carbon ones for less than $200

Here are the (belated) pictures in case anyone else was interested. The only thing that's different now is that the bezels around the hazard light switch and dimmer switch are matte black now.
