I don't think they're the ones in my car (there's a metal ring to the outside of mine and I think its all one piece), but would like to see them installed to see how they look. If they come out anywhere close to the lexus ones they'd be sweet.

They're actually fairly similar to the ones in TopCats FTO - the stainless dial rings are separate. The stainless steel dials though have very little flexibility which makes them a biatch to fit over the needles on the dials.

Did you need to buy the blue backing seperately Shane? I'd be curious to know if/how that works. do you have to remove the factory dial faces to get an even spread of light?

Blue backing came with the dials - its just a transparent sheet that sits behind the dials. I did have to remove (cut out) the original dials though - otherwise no light would have got through.

these dials don't include the plastic for behind. I'd assume the clear coloured plastic they use for light filters would do the trick.
