Yeah, I've read that article a few times but I still had a few doubts that you just cleared up. Thank you!

Received the rings a few days ago. As Chuck noted, they are not perfect, but pretty close. I had to use my Dremel on one of the rings to ensure a proper fit.

Sure makes a big difference aesthetically. Me like. :)

Hello all :)
Thank you very much for every feedback and suggestions.
We try to produce with the greatest accuracy.
Here even 1 millimeter, it makes a huge difference :(
There is a minimum size difference (indicators)
We had to make "optimum dimensions" for both versions
That is why it can happen, in one case they will fit perfectly.
In another it's minimal cramped.
Counter indicator - visually identical.
But they have minimal dimensional differences.
I think that although it is somewhat understandable, my text.
I use translator :)
I greet all users

Hi Robert! :)

I did have to trim about 1mm off of each side ring for them to fit, but it took less than 5 minutes. I used a Dremel and cutoff wheel, though I did not cut, just lightly pressed the end of the ring against the spinning face of the cutoff wheel. It would be easy enough to do with sandpaper, also.

I really like the way they snap in. Very easy install :cool:

Matte finish (AKA brushed aluminum):

Cool. Ha, you're right. But then it might be a generational think.

Hi Chuck! I have to tell you many thanks for the tip regarding the trim rings! I have 996 gauges in my 99 but I have C4 gauges that were modified by Steve Eiche "Qumulus". You had told me about him a couple years ago but I wanted the trim rings and could not find them. I was about to give up when I saw your post. And thanks for the 4 stalk!

I've also added these and they look great. Also want to add that Robert the seller is great too, I managed to mangle one of mine while fitting them and he video chatted with me on facebook to explain the fitting then sent me a replacement half way round the world for free! Would recommend!
