well i liked mad dhan's gunmetal gauge rings so much i decided to pick up a set. i liked the look of the gunmetal just because it matches the needles and they seemed to be a tad more subtle than the chrome ones. his rings are on the black gauges so i figured i would post a couple pictures as a reference on white gauges. (since i had trouble finding some)



sorry about the quality of the photos...my digicam doesnt like too much light on white surfaces. let me know what you guys think.

I really like it. I think that it adds a flair without looking ricey or overdone. Actually, I like any rings on stock gauges, but i have to admit that the chromies look better on GLE/GXE gauges and the muted color of these look better on SEs. Not that the chrome rings look BAD on the SEs, I just prefer it as I stated it.

 

Looks great! Sorry if I missed it in another thread, where can I get these rings?

 

lookin goood

 

nice

 

lookin good.

i might have to get some of those when i find myself a job and get my car back.

 

thanks guys...here are some better pics...

 

those look hot. I have the chrome on white like yours but with a special gauge cluster, not stock. i think all rings look great.

 

Looks good man. I checked out your homepage and its one of the cleanest max's I've seen.

 

Would you mind telling me how to install these? Do you have to tear apart the speedo box? Or the dashboard maybe? Those look really good!

My gf has the SE model...(mine is GXE), and I think white gauges from SE are just awesome in the night with those rings....

 

wow looks great!

 

hey what did you use to put them on?

 

they come with adhesive already on the back...you just have to press them into the gauges. it is tricky to get them lined up and stay stuck in there...but in the end its not all that hard.

 

I saw these on e-bay about a week ago, and I wasn't sure how they'd look. This thread answers that question, and now I really want them, but I can't find them on E-bay... do you have contact info for the guy who sells them or something? Maybe he'll put more up. Great alternative to those expensive Cefiero chrome rings.

..but how to take the dash apart? Can you give me some directions on how to do it?

 

these are the instructions wizzamax hooked me up with a month or so ago...

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

there you go

 

looking good. I wish i had SE gauges but the rings bump the look up enough to were it doest matter. I was thinking of finding a junk SE cluster and just replace the rpm tach to white. Anyway it looks

 

Wow, I wasn't expecting gauge rings to look so good! How much do they cost? and where did you get the grey gauge needles from?

 

Sorry for asking, but searched on eBay and Google... Where do ya buy these things? They look great!
