Billet Interior

RE: Billet Interior
I can never decide what finish to get so I haven't ordered anything yet.For example, I really like the e-brake cover, but not sure which finish would be best. It comesinchromeor silver anodize finish. I guess the silver anodize finish would go better with the aluminum accessories, or do you think you can mix and match to your preferences and it would look just as good?
BTW, I bought some things atParts Cheapsite and was happy with the price, service, etc. Now they have this Scott Drake line of Ford accessories:

RE: Billet Interior
There's billet finishes that satin, chrome ,silver anodize and polished.
I am new to this Billet stuff but I am learning.
I haven't see anything in person or held it in my hands.
But I talked a to a guy just yesterday about polished and chrome. Chrome will flake off if not careful with them.
Polished can be buffed out if you get scratches and it will shine beautifully. Polished items do cost more but I feel that I will enjoy them more.
(I am already thinking about getting some Mothers Billet Metal Polish at the local auto parts store).
UPR makes a Pistol Grip E-Brake Handle #1053-01
It's $59.99for Satin finish or $79.99 for Polished
Also, if you read on their site. You can send your Billet items and they run them through a mirror finish process for a fee. Maybe you have scratched ones or ones that took a beating over time. A touch-up process. You can send in your Satin ones to get a polished finished. I thought this was pretty cool.
This isn't just for Billet interior parts but exterior and engine dress-ups.
I don't plan on doing my engine in Billet since I have only opened my hood to add windshield wiper fluid in the last 2 years. Yes, it sounds funny but its true.
Yes, I think you can mix and match. I don't plan on doing the a/c ***** and radio ****. I have a look in my head that I want to achieve. Thats what makes our Mustangs ours. Each one of us Mustang owner wants our cars to look unique. Not necessary changing the exterior look but the interior.
Let your imagination run wild and do what you feel you will like. Like I said earlier, I am not doing everything that I can with the Polished Billet. I have items that I would like to change and give my Stang a special look.
You'll never know what they will have in the Billet in months to come. Today you are adding this and in 3 months,boom, you found something you like.
I do plan on taking pictures as I add my Billet items. I just love having a before and after pictures of things.
UPDATE:
Just got back from the auto parts store. I had to get new wipers.
I picked up Mothers Billet Metal Polish for around $14.00.
I wanted to see how it works so I tried it out on my gold wedding band.
Let me tell you, IT ROCKS!! (the polish) .............The ring looks like the day I got it.

RE: Billet Interior
Update:
I just received my Billet Door Pins today. They look nice.
Not going to put them just yet. I should be getting my Billet Automatic Handle Covers sometime next week.
I want to buy these things and one Saturday install everything all at once.
The Billet Speaker Covers are so tempting now.
