Talking Inserts to go around gauges?

I was wondering if anyone has seen inserts for the peice that goes around the gauges like "carbon fiber" or that look alike stuff to match the P5 interior. Ive seen alot of people paint theirs but i dont really want to do that. Im open for all suggestions..Peace

i haven't seen the actual stuff around the gauges, like the rings if that's what u mean that area. i haven't seen a carbon fiber insert for that, but i have seen a carbon fiber inserts for the actual gauges like the speedometer, tach, etc.

Hey Messenjah,

I’ve looked all over for the same thing you are looking for with no luck. That is if we are on the same page, just a set of rings to go around the original gages. One for the tach, speedometer, and one around the temp/fuel gauge. Since I couldn’t find any and I own my own precision machine shop. I am going to make me a set out of alum. Polish them up real good and make them look as close to chrome rings as I can. When I get them done I will post so pics. It might be little while. I am currently working on a set of alum. Pedals engraved with Protege5 of course.
