Boxster Aluminum Gauge Trim Rings $80.00
 
I have a set of Aluminum Gauge Trim Rings for a Boxster available for sale. I bought these from Bumperplugs.com a few months ago. Really enhances the look of your interior. I got a new gauge cluster so I no longer need these. I paid $138.95 for these. I will sell them for $80.00 delivered in the Continental US. All other locations additional postage. I accept paypal to navarro@flash.net Thanks and take care,

Mike

You should spray paint them chrome and then sell them... I painted my factory molded rings chrome to avoid buying them but its quite a task.

Shoot me an email at sacramentolands@yahoo.com

Blinkwatt,

I just sent you an email. CJ, that's a good idea, if they don't sell, I might try it, did you just buy chrome colored spray paint??

Yes Chrome colored spray paint from pep boys, after about 30 minutes, you would have to cover them in clear coat cause the Chrome literally never drys. Do if you do paint them, dont touch them till after the clear coat drys.

"cause the Chrome literally never drys"
 
As I'm about to use chrome paint, could you please elaborate, CJ?
I'd be concerned with the possible reaction to the clear...

Joshua,

I'm waiting to hear back from Blinkwatt. If he decides he doesn't want them, I will let you know. Thanks,

Mike

Clear coat will dull the chrome a bit, but its nessecary to prevent finger prints from getting embossed on the chrome paint. I would let the chrome dry on its own for as long as 24 hours before applying the clear coat to reduce the amount of dulling.

Now I get it.
Thanks.

Rings are sold and paid for.
Thanks,

Mike
