I tried the poster tape...trust me...you need the exterior mounting tape for its thickness and adheisive qualities. the rings have a bit of space in there that requires a thicker tape. There is some space between the ring and dial edge but once installed with this tape, there is no visible space and the fit is perfect

I have mine for a long time, and I put it at the bottom edge, not the part contacting the glass. Cut a VERY thin strip. If you put it at the top, it will create a gap between the ring and the gauge.

ditto, I cut very thin (in tape width) strip, used 4 per ring, put them at the bottom/middle inner edge of the ring. I'm sure I didn't get the rings all the way 'in' so they're flush with or contacting the glass, but they look good enough for me. In a couple cases (more the outer smaller gauges) the top of the ring edge protrudes just a hair 'taller' than the gauge outer bezel, but then I'm a DIY neophyte and screw up most everything I touch (there's a thread on light switch bulbs where I got so beaten up I lost my temper in response). But mine look good enough to me, certainly a big improvement especially when one has aluminum on the handbrake or shift lever.

The lighting makes the plastic airbag look different than the leather wrap....
I don't know how some folks can live with a pitted trunk hood...I would not be able to sleep at night.
