to me, the chromey look is tacky.

I also read a thread here somwhere where a person who bought/installd them said the same thing - the color was off. I also recall that they affix with glue or double sided tape and they don't stay on perfectly.

if it were me - I'd pass on them. all black looks just fine. if i was going to spend money to update my interior, I might do a painted center console, maybe pedals, or something else liek that.... those trim rings look like a good way to waste money....

the color, to me, just looks "off".
I wrote to Suncoast with a few question before you posted. This was their reply:

Bob,
The benefit of the $99.95 kit is that it will match the other silvers inside the car. I’ll admit I like the powder coated kit better, it reminds me of the 550 edition Boxster/40th anniversary Carrera. If you have any questions, just let me know.

Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks again!

So, it's still iffy. Perhaps some additional input will help. My interior is light gray. I'd be happy with that color on the rings and the aluminum is failrly close.

Bob
