Question about the Chrome Ring install

I have tried to install mine yesterday, and the speedo/tech rings seems smaller.. it still fits(barely)
does anyone have the same problem? I am just wondering if it's normal.. the gas/temp rings fits perfectly.. it sticks out a little.. just the way I like it.., but the other two are pretty much sitting flat...
anyway to solve this problem?

Thanks

Thw big ones sits perfectly fine. The Gas and Temp rings are smaller and you need to either use sandpaper or dremel the hole bigger on the plastic gauge cluster so that these rings will sit flush. It's a problem for all 5thgen owners who want these chrome gauge rings..

MaxMojo made new ones that fit the 2k-2k1 perfectly...

The older ones that were sold by Sycfiro or on ebay didn't fit perfect.

Paradox had those designed for the 2k/1 Max. I believe he is getting some designed for the 2k2/3's now.

I really hope they come out with 2k2-2k3 rings soon. I'm feeling left out.

when i got my guage rings like a year ago from cefiro on here, i had to use sandpaper to shave down the two smaller guages. i would recommend using a dremel tool though b/c i managed to end up scratching some of the other parts of the dash when i didn't want to.
