Pics of Anthracite and Chrome??

I'm looking for pics of an anthracite dash with chrome trim rings. If anyone has some or knows of any, please post pics or a link.

Thanks.

Once I get my antracite dash Ill send pics. I have full chrome interior. Anthreacite downtubes, but no dash yet. Antracite in a 2002 is unheard of because when I bought it only silver was offered. I think it will look great!

I added some chrome trim rings from Moss Mini to my car. I didn't want too much chrome, just a little here & there. I got one for the steering wheel, tach, speedometer, gear shift surround, and two for the heated seat buttons. I really like them and will add the trim rings for the tweeter & woofers in the doors next. I only have a couple of pics right now.

It's not the best pic in the world...



And for the thread-jacking topic, a year ago, I bought this mount:



It's available here for $80 (with adaptor mount and 3" extension): http://www.racerpartswholesale.com/speedprod15b.htm

It mounts perfectly on the passenger side glass for a nice view out the front window, on the glass of the rear sunroof, hanging down between the seats for a good view of the speedo and front windshield (good for a track day) and I even ran it pointing backwards for a drive down the Dragon, attached to the inside of the rear glass. It works better with lighter cameras and holds my digital camera with movie function beautifully... no appreciable shake, even on the track at speed.

I also purchased a tether (strap w/ a hook on it) to save the camera in case the suction cups came free, but it held my Sony Handycam (handsized video camera) and my digital camera for several runs down the Dragon and on the track with absolutely no problem.

The camera mount works great. There is a thread in here about how to make one, that's where I got the idea. It took about a 1/2 hour to make and a couple bucks for the parts. I did pick up some rattling noises from the microphone at first, but then I wrapped a bungee cord around it & the headrest & that solved the problem.
