Yeah, we do that.

Email me with questions: eric@bumperplugs.com

If you are referring to the trim rings, these are the oem stock aluminum trim rings for the gauges. They are on backorder at the moment and should be to us within weeks.

C4S,
Were you talking about the gauge faces or the alum rings? I thought you were talking about the faces in alum.

The absolute best deal on the rings is from Brandywine via Ebay.They have the OEM rings for 109.95 buy-it-now every week. I got them a few weeks ago. Just be careful with the crazy glue that comes with them--it can get on your dials!

Purchased mine from Eric - Bumperplugs

Couldn't be happier with his service

Be wary of the finish on some - The ones Eric supplied were brushed aluminium which tend to match other interior silver bits very well. Some I have seen tend to have a more polished/smoother look which may not be as nice.

Just a tip: When you decide to apply the rings, just use some small bits of thin double-sided tape (you do not need to much)

Don't bother using any other glues etc as they tend to make more of a mess and can make removal difficult if required later.

Do you have any pictures of them? I was about to pull the trigger, but wasn't sure if I should go with them, or get Eric's. Is there a difference between the 2?

(What I really want are the chrome bezels that the Boxster 550SE has, those are sweet!)
