Bit of a discussion with the old owner of my new supra about the facelift gauges.

 

Mine has polished rings around each of the 5 gauges, there a bit grotty so wanted to replace with new but were having a bit of a debate to weather they were an aftermarket only addition or that some supras did have these as standard.

 

I've looked on the toyota EPC for UK and Japan and can only find 2 part numbers for this dash piece, pre and post facelift.

 

Now i know i've seen them with and without the rings in pictures and in the hyper revs catalogs.

 

Anyone settle a debate :) And if so the part number of the polished ring version if they are genuine toyota

Every single one, I have a very low mileage facelift and it never came in mine, I have seen loads without the chrome rings too & know they can be brought off eBay.

 

Though if the information is from Geo I am starting to doubt myself but I am 90% sure it is aftermarket.

Mine came with the rings, pretty sure they are oem on facelifts?

 

From a post back in 2003:

There are 4 brochure pics showing the 5 gauge dash, none of which have the chrome rings. hmm. :shrug:

the set i've got have a plastic feel to them so feel factory but i've seen loads of facelifts without them, even in the hyper revs catalogs that has a bit of the original sales browser they are just black

 

for example

Ah, when you said 'polished' I thought you meant like in silver :)

 

Mine is pretty much the same as that dash.

Some Pre facelift and Facelift came with genuine rings which is quite Rare. It only can tell Genuine one it plastic. Load of Aftermarket they use stainless steel.
