All of my interior pieces (except for the outlet plug) are from SilverHorse Racing. Very high quality billet pieces. I chose to go with the polished and clear anodized finish. It matches the steering wheels spokes perfectly. It's definitely not "blingy".

Thanks. SHR used to call it satin anodized, but now the satin version doesn't have a protected finish. So now it's the polished version. It's still very satin like, it just has a protective finish. It matches the spokes perfectly. I've never had one person say my interior was cheesy. I jump in the '05 and it feels so sparse, as all I have in that one is the Hurst, MGW plug, and *****.

Orion240 says polish or chrome is sooo 1980??? Whatever! Apparently people in LA don't realize these cars are RETRO!! The basic theme I'm going with throughout my GT is black and chrome, and I've won awards with it at car shows so I guess the judges don't think it's "soooo 80"! To each his own. I personally think a few accents here and there (done tastefully and carefully) add a great touch to these cars...especially considering there are so many stock pieces in the car that are black plastic that BEG to be replaced. Again though, do it tastefully or it'll be overkill. And definitely check MGW or SHR for the best quality pieces on the market.
DarkfireGT, I saw that GT plate you have around your shifter on the SHR website and was thinking of picking one up in chrome, but I'm curious....how does it install? Does it require drilling and screwing in somewhere or does it install with 3M tape or what?

I personally do not like dash kits like the one I have pictured. I think it makes the interrior look so cheap.

The SHR shifter trim installs with 3M tape. Make sure you wipe with alcohol real well first and it'll stick very well. The cup holder bezel has a few pieces of velcro with 3M tape, so you can remove it when needed. The eBrake handle cover uses a torx screw to hold it in place. The ***** are replacements and snap in.
