I bought the same thing from the same ebay seller. Haven't put it on the boxster yet.
They look ok..plastic material. Will have to do a dry fit first to see if I like the way it looks.

My hand painted chrome gauge rings look 100% better than the round bulk of the aluminum stick ons. I would advise you to remove your cluster cover and have a professional shop paint the rings for you in chrome if you cant mask very well.

Hey BLACK PORSCHE 6,
I paid less than 50 bucks but not less than $24. Did you use the adhesive that came with the rings? Or something else? Any pics available?

Hey Fab, sorry i just looked, I paid 26.99 for the rings on ebay, But a week after they went up to 46.00 ? I used the glue that came with the rings, It's not glue but silicone. but check first to see if the rings are not bent and fit, because one of mine was bent a little and i had to hold it in place. I guess you can use tape to hold it. Try to get some pics Good luck

Hopefully, this weekend I'll get to it. The weather has been so crappy here.
I wasn't sure if I should use the silicone but since you are the first to report with positive results leaves me with no choice. Thanks.

I am actually looking for chrome rings. Anyone see them out there? Not plastic painted silver, but real metal chrome plated, or atleast dipped plastic.

Chrome rings look very sharp. The 550 special edition has them and a few other crhome accents, gives the car a much more 'expensive' look. At these car prices you would think Porsche would just make it standard...
