I purchased my surrounds from a guy called tuningshark (in Germany) on ebay, I assume it's the same guy as he is no longer listed and chrome-tec now is.
However by looking at those pics and others I've found across the net, I would also assume that all of the "chrome" (really polished aluminum) originate at the same factory.

They're ugly I promised you! I bought mine from a seller in UK last 2004 and I was in fact paying more due to the pound-dollar conversion plus the shipping. They look like chromed washers and very cheap looking!

Don't waste your money like I wasted mine!

Cyril,

When you get the seat belt surround, let us know if it is worth the money. I think it would look pretty sharp. If you install them right away, maybe you could let me know how big of a pain in the butt the install is.

Thanks,
Jesse

Hey Cyril, which exactly did you buy that did not look good?
I ordered the hazard switch thing, do you know if this accessories are the same as CTD Germany sells? I order the hazard as I thought it would match the A/C chrome rings I bought from CTD which I like a lot.

I like the A/C rings because it is more rounded and looks like a part of the console but the side mirror switch surround looks like a square washer sitting on top of the console!

Did anybody buy the window button chromed surrounds? I bought the A/C chrome rings from CTD long time ago and liked the look a lot, now they have all these accessories on ebay, making them more accessible.
I ordered the hazard switch surround and Im not sure if it will look as good, will install today...
I was going to order all of the ones I don't have mirror button, window button & seatbelt. Do you have a pic cyril so I can check it out?
Thank you.

I received the seat belt surround today and installed it. The installation was very easy and will take you only 5 mins. for both sides.

I have the chrome surround for the window switches also but I don't like the way it's made. Just imagine putting a chrome washer on top of it...that's how it looks like! I'll post some pics since the gallery ain't working yet!

How do you install the seatbelt surround? How do you like it and which accessories would you recommend? (obviously not the surround window switch and I guess same for the mirror switch surrounds?)
Hope you can get some pics soon!
If you get the chance please email me some pics to: k0ol_mx@hotmail.com
Cheers!

I've installed the chrome seatbelt surrounds and the install is very easy with approx. time to finish = 5 mins. It looked great and added another chrome shine inside the cockpit!

Can someone post some pics of the window switch and console switch surrounds? I ordered the door handle insert and the air conditioning rings from these guys. Curious about the rest.
