Brushed Alloy Accent Ring

Hey folks,

Does anyone know of a company or seller that offers Brushed Alloy or Aluminum Accent Rings?

I'm particular interested in this for the cup rings, shift ring, nav ring, and vent rings.

I know there are polished/chrome ones out there but I want the brushed look.

Thanks,

-MG

Just use steel wool on the chrome bits.

I've never actually held a chrome ring before. Are they plastic and chrome plated, or are they solid metal and polished.

thanks.

I've got chrome trim rings on my tach, speedo and center vent. They are chromed metal. Not to say that there aren't vacuum plated plastic ones out there - don't know.
