Question Chrome Bezels

So I've looked up and down the net and have only been able to come up with these alum. jobbies. Any clue on where I can find a set of Chrome Bezels? Thanks

those don't look like chrome, simply aluminum look.

chrome are like the ones on the 550 edition boxster, very shiny.

bumperplugs.com probably has those.

Performance Products has "stainless" shiny bezels. The alum ones may match alum-look interior trim better, but the finish on the stainless ones is probably superior. Even after carefully buffing my alum bezels with fine steel wool before installing, the finish is not as even as I'd like.

And if you plan to glue them on, test fit first and be real careful with that glue!

i think it looks cheap if you just stick aftermarket ones OVER the stock bezels.

I would imagine Eric at bumperplugs.com could do a chrome set for you.
Why not send him a PM or email and ask?

I would also ask Gert at carnewal.com. He may know of a source as well.

Best way to finish them is to paint them with Duplicolor " Chrome " . It came out as an exact color/ grain match to my car's optional aluminum shifter/brake handle's finish. Ironically and fortunately it didn't come out " chrome " !

Painted gauge trim rings
