Default USDM cluster with chrome trim rings???

Hey guys so i found this cluster picture. Its a USDM with chrome trim rings like the jdm cluster. I was wondering how did they do it?? if any of you happen to know. Did they but the JDM cluster and pull the rings out and put in USDM?? of is there somewhere where they happen to sell the rings?

Thank you very much!

You can pop the cluster open and pull out the rings yourself, then just hit them with some higher-quality silver spray and re-install. Here's a pic of what mine look like after painting:

Not the best picture of the rings, but you get the idea.

I used Rustoleum's High Performance Enamel. Looks like this, except silver:



Just be gentle pulling the rings out the first time. And use light coatings of paint to avoid it gooping up and getting orange peely

Good luck!
