Default Aluminum gauge rings, nice touch

I just installed some aluminum gauge rings and clock ring that I got from an eBay UK seller. Great fit, easy install and a classy upgrade - on to the pics!

Sweet! I've been thinking about getting a set. Can you install them without removing the wood plank?

Very nice looking! do you have a link to the Ebay supplier or an Ebay item number? I'd like to get a set for my 2001 VDP SC.

Yes, but the trim is so simple to remove I just decided to pop it off. You just pull it right out.

They also have a set that includes the foglight / trip buttons but I thought that a bit much.

They say glue in but the 3 main rings just pop in, I used epoxy to affix the clock ring only.

This is your sellers main page. The guy sells tree seedlings and jag parts, lol.

Quite an unusual mix of merchandise for sure.
