I got mine off eBay but I can't remember which vendor, but I only paid $80.

What a huge difference 5 aluminum rings make in a black interior.

Use something like Permatex clear RTV silicone to install them, don't even bother with the included double-sided tape.... (thanks to Tim for that tip)

Found a few minutes this weekend to swap in the silver hood crest. Really makes a nice difference on black. Slowly, but surely...

why would you want a rear spoiler switch on the center console? Do you really need to negate that lift in the rear at 30 mph?

Because its is better than having a dummy switch on the upper center console.
