thanks everyone for the responses. was it difficult to remove the bezel to paint? instead of 100$ for an aluminium one i figure i can do it for the cost of a spray can.

The OEM rings do not come off, While they do look like they snap on and off, I assure you they are molded on to the housing. I remove the entire gauge cluster, then removed the cover and used masking tape to cover all the areas & clear lenses and painted mine silver.

Just keep this in mind, you will feel alittle ripped off when they arrive in the mail, as anyone who has paid 100 for them and ask them there first reaction once they opened the box they were shipped in lol. They look nice once they are on the car but man... $100 for 3 stamped rings willl hurt once you see how simple they are.
