Quality of Ebay chrome interior bits?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-MI...em360016125558


Anybody know the quality? If its not good are there any comparable complete kits that are of good quality?

Thanks,
k

Looks similar to stuff I've purchased thru Mini Mania, but I spent a lot more! Can't imagine it being that great for that price, but on the other hand, it may be a great buy. They may take your link to eBay off...just a heads up.

i purchased that last week along with my dark gray outmotoring face gauges... it's a very nice chrome-painted plastic. slightly flimsy/bendable but i don't think these trims are going to see too much wear/tear. they should hold up well. when i install the chrome/face gauges tomorrow i'll try to take some pics.

Do you have any pictures? Do they just stick on right over the OEM rings? Can you see any hint that they are "stuck on" or a piece that is placed over something?
