My friend ordered the clip-on type chrome gauge rings from Sycefiro. He's got a 5.5 gen with the silverish/greyish OEM gauge rings around the tach and speedo.

Has anyone successfully been able to install chrome rings on this type of cluster? If the OEM ring is removed, the opening is too big. If the ring stays, the lip on the chrome ring scratches the inner part of the OEM ring, and the ring will not stay in firmly.

If they are not compatible, do the sticky type from Paradox work?

Thanks all,
Nilesh

 

The ones I got from Paradox sit over the stock rings. The rings have a groove in them with glue which stick over the gauges.

 

The sticky kind does work, that is good to know.

Anyone know about these clip on type?

 

I've never seen the clip on types....never heard of them actually. Do you have any pics or link?

 

I havent either. My friend is the one that bought/brought them. He got them from Sycefiro.

I just did the install

 

I bought the ones from CustomMaxima for both my 2003 and my wife's 2000 and they work great, takes about 1/2 hour to install. The ones with the clips... I don't know, really. I haven't heard much, but CLIPS?

 

not CLIPS persay, but there is a lip on the outside of the ring that will press against the inner part of the bezel, holding it in place. They work find and give enough pressure for the temp/fuel gauges, but being that these OEM rings are in the way, and the angle of their bezels, the clips are rendered useless.

Ravi, can you shoot a pic of the glue-type rings on top of your OEM rings?

 

woo hoo 1800 posts.

 

Pics installed or not installed?

 

installed of course

 

Ohh, when I get home.....although it will be dark by then. So I don't know how good those pics will be. How about this, next time I'm at Don's I will let you know.

 

Works for me

 

i got the sticky ones from paradox and those fu<kers keep sliding down making my needle get stuck against it so now i have to drive without the plastic peice that goes in front of the gauges so i can constantly adjust them so the needles are free

 

Bah, I'll have pics over the weekend...stupid digital camera doesn't work.
