Chrome Gauge Ring Install
 

Because of various topics in this great forum, I finally had the balls to install chrome gauge rings in my instrument cluster. I bought the rings on ebay from eurosportgarage and it was a great fit. It simply snaps in. Twisting the tabs in the back of the cluster was the trickiest part. When the gauge was open, it took me no more than 10 minutes to install and snap back in. Here's the picture after the install:

nice.....those tabs are a bitch

Nice, I gotta get the nerve to crack open the cluster one of these days

Its a combination of technique, patience and yes...... a lot a nerves:yikes:

Nice job. I didn't think those little rings would make much difference but I can't imagine my cluster without them now that they're in. Indeed, those tabs are tough. I think it more finesse and timing to get them open. It took me a while to get it done and at least I did wonder what the heck I was trying to accomplish!

pare, ok yan, bili ako pede tulong?

Anytime Jun. just call me.

how long did it take?

My Next Mod!
 

I want those on my cluster! :thumbup:

pare, total of 30 minutes. 20 minutes to twist the tab and pull them apart and 5 minutes to install the rings and 5 minutes to snap it back together.
JVs DIY instruction worked well also.
Jun, send me a PM kung kailangan mo ng tulong.:thumbup:

will do george -- let me buy the rings. what's your cell again?

Some say it doesn't make too much of a difference but I kinda like a little bit of the M flavor in the dash. Looks great at night too:thumbup:

Zerochief, Nice X BTW.
