My custom-made guage rings--*PICS*

Hey, guys. What do you guys think of my custom-made guage rings? They are made out of "mirror" type plexi-glass. I work in a shop that deals with all types of wood, plexi-glass, and acrylic. We had some scrap of this mirror plexi lying around, so I decided to rout some guage rings for my cluster. I could only rout them 1/8" thick, because the vacuum on this CNC machine router we have cannot hold anything thinner this size without moving, and ruining the perfect radius of the ring. This meant I had to leave out the fuel and temp rings, because they would only clash into the bigger ones making it odd looking. In person, these rings really stand out. I have received alot of compliments on them. Soon, I will also be posting some other custom-made mods on my homepage. I had some on my '95 Maxima, and I will be posting some of those pics, too. Well, let me know what you guys think.

Real nice work, the only thing about being an original is that you want to share and thereby give other suckas ideas....

Thanks for all the love and replies. When we have some "down-time" at work, I'll try to make some more and sell to anyone who may be interested. I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks!
