Brandon,
Eddie was talking about seat belt covers, not instrument panels. What he was asking about is the billet covers they have for newer trucks, instead of the plastic ones. I haven't seen any billet ones for our trucks, only 88 up.

Mike,
About billet vs brushed, if I understand correctly billet means the item was machined from a block(billet) of alluminum as opposed to formed from roll sheeting or molded. The anodizing would have to be performed after the part is machined. Billet is almost always more expensive due to the machining cost and it supposedly is stronger since it has not been formed or deformed as the case may be. I think this is correct and hopefully answers that question. Dave M.
