I bought the guage trim rings from AM. Tried to install from the back side but they wouldn't snap into place. So.... I tried to remove the clear lens and yes sir snap! Followed by a few choice words. Not happy at all

They get crappy anyway. Think they are cheapo from the dealer arent they? I need to get a new one myself.

those trim rings could look good, but they don't fit worth s##t...
I messed up my Mach 1 bezel trying to install those trim rings and the Mach bezel isn't available...I was able to touch it up some so it doesn't bug me every time I drive the car, but it still annoys the crap outta me

Anyway, lets see the pics of the trim rings. Everyone gives them good reviews?

Yes I agree I am not a fan of them. I will take a pic today of my cluster without the clear cover. I doubt they will go in the new piece
