Looks good, but they almost look like they aren't thick enough.

I believe redmax007 has a 99 SE-L, which has an electronic odometer and a slightly different gauge cluster, i believe this is correct...

I never liked the look of both an aluminum gauge bezel and rings looked together, especially over white faced gauges. Makes things look way to cluttered in there.

I just have the chrome rings over my white faced gauges and i get nothing but compliments all the time

i think it looks awesome! the only thing i dont like is the sticker ..............btw - your 40 dollar chrome rings look pretty good - for some reason they do look thinner than other ones though.

The rings are VERY easy to put in...

Remove bottom plastic piece under steering wheel(2 screws and 2 pressure clips)

Remove metal bracket under that...(2 small bolts)

Remove nuts from two bolts holding steering column up in place and lower onto floorboard(use extension and look at side of bolt in between SW and dash edge)

Remove plastic gaige surround(2 screws at top and pressure clips on the bottom) [You may want to disconnect electrical connectors to prevent stretching connector for security light,cruise and dimmer]

Use flathead screwdriver of finger to loosen clear plastic tabs all around front of gauge pod (It is easy to remove gauge assembly by 3 screws and just pull forward slightly to reach all tabs)

Remove clear lense and set aside

Insert rings appropriate to corresponding bezel and press flush

Reassemble in reverse and tigheeten everything up and enjoy the newly found perspective...like me

yea, i noticed theyre a tad smaller, i think its cuz you can use the carbon and aluminum bezel with them, but with the other you can only use the cefiro one...dont quote me

i got mine on ebay, theres some for sale there all the time, and syferio has/can get the real ones...
