thanks, at least i wasn't the only one thinking that.

I mean, if you wanna really find out it's not that hard. Just takes some commen sense...hmmm metal?.. hmm... hardware store?! Im just selling them already premade you dont have to do any work but glue em in. The pic is sort of a prototype, the ones i sell i will make look much smoother and cleaner.

i would be interested in purchasing a set of rings from you, but then again need to look at the final product first right. I guess 20 dollars is a reasonable price to pay for being so god damn lazy

The headlight king is up to his old tricks again!

Those look excellent on GXE gauges. Nice work!

Actually, i just made another set and I'm gonna make it so there is no glueing at all. Im gonna just send the whole black surround with the rings already on it, but if i do it like that then I'm goin to need a swap where i send you the new one and i take your old black surround peice on the guages. That way you guys dont have to do any work at all but clip it in.

But i do need the trade because i dont have enough surrounds to send to everyone, so i'll just include a self adressed envelope or something with postage already on it.

hmm...what if i took those neon string lights and formed a circle like you did around my gauges? ice'ed out like a ***** eh?

I have indiglo gauges, thats where i'll stop with modding the gauges, it's best to leave them alone *in my opinion*, they look pretty nice stock (white face).
