I'm trying to find a certain person so that he can install them and I can take pics in the car.

2)3 screws hold in steering column cover....remove top of column cover
3) 2 screws are in gauge cluster area, to the top, that holds in the gauge cluster cover, pull it out, let it hang.
4) gauge cluster right there. 3 screws (1 top, 2 bottom) hold in the whole cluster, remove those 3, and pull cluster out
5) cluster won't come all the way out due to 3 plugs behind it. pull plugs off and wiggle cluster out. once you unplug the harnesses, DO NOT TURN ON THE CAR OR EVEN TURN THE KEY. you will get a SEL light. once you put it back together you can turn on the car.
6) put on rings. stand back and call yourself a pimp
7) respond to this post, thank me, and post a pic.

1. What company/website did you purchase your alluminum gauage bezel from? It looks better than the one's I have seen.
2. Exactly how do the rings install. What do you do with the stock silver rings on the speedo and tach?
I appreciate your help. Your car looks awesome!

can't answer that...someone had ordered one, but then sold his car, and they arrived, so i had him send it over to me, in other words...no name brand.
2. Exactly how do the rings install. What do you do with the stock silver rings on the speedo and tach?
they have adhesive on the other side. like what we have around our tails. that type of adhesive. clay type. just put them on and that's it. as far as silver rings, it goes on top of them, they do NOT come off. reason is because if they were made any wider, they wouldn't fit. the speedo/tach rings are nosehairs away from the fuel/temp rings so it was ideal to make them smaller. they do fit nicely though. great job on maxmojo, i'm so so very happy. i'm also lucky enough to live a few blocks away from him that i was over in 2 seconds and had it installed in 15 with pics =)

i would personally be happier if it was more "aluminum-like" and in all seriousness bro, i would go to home depot, and get some thin aluminum and make an outline of the bezel with a pencil and cut it out. with real aluminum, that would look pimp.

That's so awesome to hear. The pics you took look amazing, I was just thinking about them before I came back to the forum. I was wishing you had some pics of the guages installed back in you car. Any pics day or night would be great when you get a chance. Thanks!
heres a pic of the rings on my 2k GLE that i got from MaxMoJo. They come with a sealant around them already and all you have to do is press them into place. they wont fall of with hot or cold weather. just press hard the first time you put them on. extremely easy.

No sanding, no glue.. Just open your dash and press into place.
Yes.. 2k2-2k3!
Pics coming soon.

Sweet man, They look good. Just ordered mine, think you can have them to me by Friday?
Thanks!
All orders received before midnight will be sent out the following morning via priority mail. It should take 3-5 days to get there but I have had people receive them within 2 days.
I would like mine to look exactly like the one in the pic above, is there more than one piece I need. I want the rings and the background part and where do I order from and roughly how much? Thanks.
