Gauge Rings + Other....PICS PICS PICS!!!
I just got some gauge rings for my bird the other day from Chris at CE Coatings (TPI383)...let me just say, the quality is GREAT! They are a very snug fit and they look awesome! Chris is great to work with, very prompt w/ everything, and the quality of his work is excellent. I recommend him if you're interested. Here's some pics. I also included some of the car also...(click each for larger image)

Re: Gauge Rings + Other....PICS PICS PICS!!!
Your car is a monster, wow, i love it!!!!!! Question about the gauge rings, do you just use your stock cluster with those and attach them somehow? I've always wanted those but wasn't sure how to put em on or where to get them. Thanks man, and again gorrrrrgeous car!

They work with the stock cluster and press fit in. They are a sung fit and no need to worry about they poping out.
No glue/tape needed etc.. So if you decide to pull em out you do just that.

Re: Gauge Rings + Other....PICS PICS PICS!!!
wow, beautiful car. I think you need a different rear spoiler tho. everything else is just immaculate... I'd be afraid to drive it and get it dirty.
I want a set of those rings one day when I get some cash, they look fantastic.

Re: Gauge Rings + Other....PICS PICS PICS!!!
Car looks great! Beautifully done.
With that said, how often do you drive it? Just curious. I spent as much time and $ as you have probably, but I tried to stay away from SUPER nice pretty parts just for sanity sake. Kinda went the more "drive the crap out of it" approach.
Do you find yourself worried about parking it places, or kringe at the thought of driving though some muddy water?
This is purely cuz I am curious and am driving my car a lot now and am thinking about making it really pretty over the winter, but am not sure if I will be digging a hole for myself. Thanks for any input SweetRide45.

Re: Gauge Rings + Other....PICS PICS PICS!!!
Thanks for all the input!
Dennis, driving thru muddy water, or in the rain by itself is a no no! lol I like things done neatly and making it look stock. Nice polished/chrome parts are kewl, but definately a pain in the *** to maintain. I mainly drive it on nice days/nights. If it LOOKS like rain, I don't take it out, lol. It's strictly a cruiser too, gotta be in sight all the time. I don't leave it in parking lots, etc. etc...
SO, take that for what it's worth. You gotta sacrifice some sanity by just saying, "Hey, it's a driver" and live w/ the little rock chips here and there. I'm going to repaint it this winter and spruce it up, so, we'll see what happens.

Nice, thanks for the input. That really opens my eyes. Your car looks PERFECT. Yeah, mine is a driver, and I hope to make it a tough one at that, so I think I am sticking with painted parts and stay away from polished Al. and so on. But damn does it look cooooool! haha.
