You can try this source: Auto Accessory Store.
You can also try: Autodash. This is a seach engine to many suppliers. Florida Auto Trim may be a good bet. I know they carry real brushed aluminium.

I do not recommend it! It is not as easy as it looks like. There is no chance for mistake cuzz one it make contact with your dash is better to leave it attach or it will bend while you try to remove it and it will show. It is real aluminum and ones is bend it will not be the same no matter how hard you tray to fix it. Also they never fit 100% leaving some gaps with no contact were you need some filling material like grey silicone to fill those spaces between the kit part and the dashboard.
Don't let those pics from the sellers fool you, the end results are far from natural. On those pics they show a Factory appearance finish but in reality they look like bad stickers. Well they are basically stickers, but they are not supposed to look like it, and believe me……they do!
My advise, don't waste your money! If you want pics of my car with that garbage on the dashboard I can take some pics with my dig cam for U and post them here.Comment
