Hi.
Did a quick search without any answer - are there any shims available which would suit Shimano 104mm bcd 3 chainring crankset?

Not a fan of unfinished look.

Something like Race Face ones? But compatible to Shimano

    I'm not aware of any (not that it's a shim, it's just a decorative washer), you can always use a bash....

    Or you could get some Orange chainring bolts to accent the chainring, then just get some matching paint to hide the bare Alu.

    The RF tabs are compatible with Shimano and Truvatic crank spiders. As far as shape, they are covers, not shims. Even these tabs on RF cranks don't match the cut of the spider arms, they cover them hiding the spider arms. They look good when the crank paint matches the tab ano. Though, I may be wrong but it looks like you have the dark gray paint used by Shimano on your cranks, while Truvativ is a dull black. I tried to match those tabs to Deore triple and the color differences made the tabs look worse then the unfinished coloring. Why I'm recommending finding some matching paint and getting orange chainring bolts for a more uniform look!

    Which is why I use a lightweight carbon fibre bash!

    I get my chainring bolts and spacers from Velosolo, great suppliers.
    Edit - sorry, didn't read the whole post, you want covers not spacers - there was a guy on STW doing them.
