Picked mine up tonight ... Registered mail via Luftpost: the rings have a brushed finish for the subdued look that was hoped for. Now, I have to find that blue or green play dough stuff to mount them.
Greg, thanks for making this happen.

Unfortunately I am one of the 5 guys that have to wait a bit longer, Holger received several bad sets of rings from the supplier and it did not pass his quality check.
No problem - I can wait. We want the best looking and quality rings in our Porsches!

first THANK YOU Greg for stepping up and putting this " group buy " together .
To install ignition plate just unscrew old one and screw new plate in . For the rings 15 minutes to install with adhesive . Just make sure the adhesive you use does not have acetone( like fake fingernails glue ) because it would eat the black paint off the surrounding areas .
All that is left on my winter projects list is to reinstalled front bumper with RS splitters and "S" ducts .which i will do Monday or Tuesday afternoon . Oh and getting standard seat back from getting remanufacture into new leather sport seats .
Cheers Guy

I got the tack it 'gum' from Staples, $2.50 for 8 pcs and I used about an 1/8 of one pc.
I will take a quick pic. It definitely livens up the interior.
My car has a beige / black interior w/ aluminum and the light wood on the shifter and e-brake. Not over done but does give it a nice look. I am debating what else I can do to the interior, without going overboard and to bling'ish per say.

I received the order last week. Great product and service. 
I believe tack it is the best way to go. It will not leave any residue if/when you need to remove them. Can't wait to install it. I'd like to get the silver hand brake and shifter. Where did you all get yours?

Where did you all get yours?I got my hand brake and shifter from Gert at Carnewal and also had to wait a little longer because I wanted it blue leather to match the rest of interior otherwise he is very quick you can have it delivered at your door within a week or so .
