Default Aluminum Trim Option

I read somewhere that Jaguar offered an Aluminum Trim option group for our year XK8s at one time. I'm not sure if that option package ever made it to the states as I can't find any info on it but I like the bright trim bezels around the tach, speedometer and temp/fuel clusters that I think were part of the option group.
I saw a 2005 XKR the other day with the standard bright trim around its gauges and thought it looked attractive. Does anyone know if the bright gauge trim rings like those featured on an XKR can be affordably retrofitted to a basic XK8 dash and if so where can someone purchase the trim?

Thanks guys. I've got to learn how to do more effective internet searches so I can stop pestering you on where to shop! Thanks again.

Don't do that! You can find some great stuff from fellow members!
Call Chris at mina gallery. He usually gives a discount for forum members.

Default GREAT price at Mina

Definitely call Chris at Mina Gallery and check them out online... he just gave me a GREAT price on a combo with the 6 rings (non-nav) and the shifter bezel kit (which normally goes for $378). I don't want post his price here online as a courtesy to him (since people will see the price two years from now and want the same) but if you want to know what I paid just pm me.

Thanks!
