Added some interior goodies to my 03
Bounced back and forth on adding billet to my interior, knowing that its easy to go overboard. I knew the pieces I wanted and dont think they are too overbearing...
The gauge bezel rings were from American Muscle, and I think they really set the dash off. They were, by the way, kind of a pain to install. Being made of plastic, the small molded clips that hold them in, bend fairly easily. All in all about 30 minutes...
All other items I just received from UPR. I was fairly impressed with the machine and finish of these pieces. Fit is a little different story. The slimline ***** and door pins fit perfectly like OEM. The cup holder rings... The front ring is just pressed in and held in place by 2 large o-rings. Not loose, but will probably come out if you put a cup in there. The rear is held in place by small screws drilled through the rubber cup. Due to the design of the cup, the ring may not line up perfectly, but looks just fine. The shifter bezel looks great, but fits rather loose. The screws from the top are just for looks. There are 4 from underneath that allows the bezel to "snap" into place. Just doesnt fit real tight. I may just use some weatherstrip or double sided tape. All in all I think the pieces are a good value for the money.

They were $10(satin finish), but if you bought them by themselves, would be another 10 to ship. UPR has a $10 flat shipping rate per order.
