It's a polished aluminum gauge bezel from Fire and Ice Motorsports. You can find them on ebay for around 20 bucks. What do you yall think?

Way too shiny for me for something that'd be in the interior...anything highly reflective in the interior (other than the windows) just looks weird...

It's like a bezel and a vanity mirror all in one!

Is there anything else in your interior that's polished like that? I think it looks good, but only if you have a polished theme in the car. Otherwise it looks a little lost in a non-shiny interior.

The steering wheel sleeve is polished billet aluminum so it kinda compliments it.

Email them at fireandicechicks@aol.com or visit their ebay store at http://www.stores.ebay.com/id=70542079&ssPageName=L2 . they have tons of applications. I'm sure if they don't have them then they'll make it for you.

I've polished out a scratch on my billet wheels before using 1500 and then 2000 grit sandpaper(wet) and then went over it with Mother's wheel polish and it came out like glass. I would imagine you can do the same with the sheet aluminum.
