Select Mirror finish.

They got real Aluminum one and it $ 99+40 for polished finish. Way too much money for that.

Awesome! I got the real aluminum brushed one for myself. I have the black face gauges though, and i think it looks really good, it matches all the other brushed aluminum trim i have in the interior. The only problem was that i cracked the clear plastic lens trying to get it off. Does anybody know where you can buy just the replacment lens, and not the entire sealed unit?

I wouldnt go for long with no lens, you could damage the gauge needles, or
get dust in there. The trick to getting the lens off is using a dremmel with a
cutting disc. A guy at Dallas mustang told me before I did mine that they
could get the lens only. But he also told me that the only way to get it off
was to intentionly brake the lens. Just use the dremmel.

You can get the plastic lense at your Ford dealer for @ $25.

I did the aluminum trim ring...i get lots of compliments on it.

I went with these, forget where I got them though, didn't have to remove the plastic, they snapped in from the back of the whole unit. They match the shift knob and the trim around the shifter perfect.

Now those are nice. Way better than the ones above (a little too much bling for my liking). Please dig up the place where you bought them from.

Very nice
