Aluminum Gauge Rings and Dash trim

Anyone have a suggestion on where to purchase the aluminum rings that go around the gauges and aluminum trim that splits the dash?

See pictures below.

The gauge rings.



The aluminum trim.



In know where to get the trim above, but I believe it's flat and I want it to be the same shape as the stock trim.

Later, Steve

A nice low cost supplier for interior trim would be nice. I've looked into adding some trim pieces to my interior and the prices are ridiculous!! Big fat markup just because it's for a "Porsche".

Here's a link to someone who sells them. $166?! This should cost no more than $50.

I'm looking for additional sources. There were some thinner rings that looked much better IMHO, but it appears they are no longer a available.

I got mine from Suncoast in 2005...I did a quick look and it doesn't look like they have it although they do have the console trim. Try Sunset?

When i was considering getting them, the only ones I found were on ebay for about $100. No idea of the quality since it was ebay!

Did you get the emblem?

EDIT: Boo, i have to change my signature now!

Porschejeff is infamous around these parts
I believe that bumperplugs sells the aluminum trim pieces for $99, but not the gauge rings. I am looking for them also and emailed Eric at Bumper plugs who indicated they no longer carry them due to some quality issues with them. If you find them let me know, I'd be interested also. I'm also considering a new console in the alum or arctic silver, Again, I agree with you on the pricing of these items.

I recieved the badge and as soon as I started cleaning the old two sided tape out of the back side of the emblem, the black came off.

Now I'm trying to decide if I should just intall it as the factory chrome, repaint it flat black or do a carbon fiber wrap. Decision, decision, decision.

I appears bumperplugs sells the dash trim pieces for $159. The factory pieces are only $179. It's really not the cost so much as it's a total replacement and I don't want to do all the work. I was hoping for an overlay option that would be a little less time comsuming, but still curved and not flat like the one pictured below.
