Aluminum rings...need opinions
Guys,
I just talked to Elke of Cup-Sport and I am ordering a set of bezel rings in aluminum. They come on "Polish", "Nature" or "Titan" look.
I am leaning towards the "Titan" look as I don't want it too shiny. Being a Cab, and the sun reflecting on it, can be bothersome. So, the "Polish" look is probably out, but I may consider the "Nature" look.
Which one would look the best with my interior? Anyone else with white gauges out there that has some pictures to share? Which one did you picked?
Here are some pics of my interior and the 3 different options (Polish, Nature and Titan bottom to top) from Elken.
TIA!

I think the "Titan" might match your shifter and e-brake handle better than the "nature," although the "nature" would go better with your airbag crest. Overall, I think the "Titan" would be better.
You are right on the polished...I would avoid it too.

They are from Cup-Sport. $99 - 10% discount for Rennlisters as they are sponsors. They also have an ebay store. They install with double side tape so they could easily be removed later if you wish.
Here is their web site, plenty of goodies there...

Mankster and Jason, thanks for the input...I am between "nature" and "Titan" still undecided...

I bought a set from a different source that looked like the Titan. But I carefully polished just the face of each (about 1/8" thick on mine) and it matched the other interior aluminum but added a bit of zip to the dash.

My vote is for the nature finish.

Your interior looks great -- love the aluminum -- I have alu rings, but seeing yours with the ***** done also makes me want to spend more money. Thanks for sharing the pics.
P.S. - it won't be long.

Thanks for the pcitures Tony. They look awsome in your car. Just when I thought I was decided for the Titan...there you come and show me yours
I just ordered the Titans from Elke. Somehow, yours look a little "duller" than the ones in Elke's pictures. Which is what I want and that's why I got the Titanlook which is more of a "flat" look to it and it will match the inner alu rings on my bezels and the brake/shifter combo. Once I get them I can see them on the car and see how the match. I may order the nature as well, see which one blends better and sell the other set. I am sure I can find people here that will take them!
Looking at your buttons I can see that I will be spending more money with Elke soon!
