Chrome trim rings for gauges
Guys,I found a great accent for the speedo/tach cluster.
The TUNING SHOP(in the U.K.) has a 3 piece trim ring set available for about $45 + shipping.Also,I found that companies in England still give good service/interested in what you are trying to do.They will even make a part for you if they do not handle!
They just snap into place!
Look great...check my avatar pic.
This company also a great source for shift&handbrake boots--all colors etc.

rice?
Coming from a guy with a 98' Skyline,I'd think your a bit of a Z purist.
Thats great.These rings(actually polished alluminum)are very understated.They just put a needed edge on the gauges.I'm really surprised
Nissan did not have these as OEM.The company that produces them also does work for Aston Martin.They also do shift boots/handbrake boots in the higest quality leather.If anything,my Z is the farthest thing from rice there is...

You mean 90? I'm not even sure what you meant by that comment.

my bad
My apologies.
Everyone has his own style...
I'm a purist at heart...owned an original 240Z(bought it new when they came out).Ordered a 350 as soon as I saw them.Actually,Nissan contaced me when they were planning to redo the Z...I was in the original data base of owners.
Most cars evolve along the model years.Sometimes they improve.More times than not they don't.From the original Z(Fairlady),the 260,280 & so on ,
did not show improvement in the looks of the car.Probably technically,yes.
I see the same with the 370(of course,my opinion),technically,MUCH improved.Design wise...weak,except for the Nismo---black,to die for!
The 350 has it.The 370 does not.I'm waiting on the 13' Z.Possibly,with
an improved design,dual turbo set up..I'm there.
So we as owners,want to give our Z's a signature look.
Like people,they are all different!

Totally different ballgame..
i wish i knew more about the ppl on here actually.. its nice to know when youre talking to a service member.. or even a guy whos actually deployed.. or for that matter, someone whos twice my age.. guess it takes the brat out of me quickly when i know those things.

i just realized these are the same guys i got a shift boot from before.
main site:
http://tuning-shop.co.uk/
Rings link:
http://www.tuning-shop.co.uk/nissan-...l?cPath=19_282
they arent chrome they are polished aluminum.
I emailed them, they will also offer these in a brushed finish if requested in the message at checkout.. which i will be buying.. shiny polished would by cool if you had a shiny shifter, but aside from that, i think brushed is the way to go.. its cheap, and im running out of sh#t to buy on ebay. haha.
