the ones on ebay are stamped out stainless steel and not "laser-cut chrome".

watercut would be way cheaper then making a stamp mold.. unless they make million a year whichi doubt.

and how do you cut chrome.. chrome is a surface detailer.. paint...

i knowthe chome ones would probably get a single dip of chrome, but polished ai looks so much nicer :P

oh yeah.. the gen3 ones look swet :P

I own those
They match my silver reverse EL guages nicely, a touch of class.

Get this 97-01-TOYOTA-CAMRY-ALUMINUM-GAUGE-BEZEL-TRIM-W-CHR-RING_ off of eBay - just use the chrome trim rings. These are for a Gen4 and are more like a true ring. This set is an APC product #PARTS NO.20.5112. I bought mine awhile ago - just haven't installed yet. The other pair from Fire & Ice is for Gen3 and are flat.

I bought these about 3 months ago. I just used the rings also, but after putting it on, it doesn't really look great. It doesn't really look bad either.

If the rings were a little thinner, it would probably look a little better. I think it mainly has to do with the fact that there's nothing else bright and flashy in the interior.
