Instrument Trim Rings
 

Here is a new thread about the instrument trim rings --

The kit of five rings will be $70.00 plus shipping. Shipping to anywhere in the US should be $9.00 -- not sure what to do about paypal fees. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I've had request for anodizing -- I will have to have a few sets done in various colors to see how they look -- they will have to be polished before anodizing for best results.

Anyhow, the list as of now is:

I will have to cut this off here shortly for this run, perhaps tonight.

Later tonight I will post instructions for how to paypal to send funds.

Thanks!

Chris,I will pay you when I see you at R's,will that be ok with you?

thanks again Chris.

Certainly

no problem at all.

Obviosuly missed the group buy, so failing that, can someone point me to the right place to get this rings? The armaturenringe website says it closed shop. Any help would be appreciated

See post # 34 just above yours...Chris Walrod is your man with the rings.

I can add you -- I have a few sets being made as 'extras' -- no problem.

Didi I miss a thread on this? Which type are they Chris? I need 1 for the clock.....is that possible?

Great!!! Thank you Chris! I will take the polished if available, if not brushed will have to do. Please let me know details about payment.

Thank you again!

The polishing is something I will need to mess around with and intended only for those who wish to anodize these. Polishing before anodizing yields much better results.

The brushed will do then . I can always polish the inside lip myself.

Is it time to pay up yet? Did I miss something?

I am out of town at the moment but should return back this afternoon sometime. Tonight I will post instructions.

Update from my machinist is Wednesday all of the rings with the exception of the tach rings will be done!!

when do you expect these to be ready to ship?

Andy

Hopefully by weeks end.

Thanks Chris! Cant wait. I will send funds this week.

Thanks for arranging the ring buy!
Same price to ship to Toronto (that's in Canada ;-)?

Payment sent. Thanks again.

Shipping to Canada will be additional -- I will flate rate box it via USPS -- I hopefully will be able to fit these in a small flate rate box.

I will update this thread about shipping costs to Canada.

Also, for those of you who have ordered multiple sets, CONUS shipping will still be $9.00 -- no need to add additional shipping for multiple sets.

Thanks

Payment sent. So, what do we call this upgrade "Walrod Rings"?

Payment sent. Thanks

Well, sometimes my last name spell-checks as warlord --so with that..... Warlord of the Rings?

Image update

How about "Slinky Rings" by Warlord?:D

PayPal sent. Thanks Chris!

Very cool! I will paypal you the funds as soon as you post shipping to Canada quote. Thanks again!

Is it the same price for the anodized rings?

Money Sent! Thanks Chris!!!

Money sent, thanks Chris!

a batch of anodizing ranges from $75-$85 irregardless of how many pieces are in each batch, color.

I have one request for red, any other takers for red? This will bring the anodizing costs down quite a bit.

Just sent money via paypal. Hope it worked. Thanks alot Chris!

Darren Winn

So excited for these "Slinky Rings" as this will be my first mod on the car (beside the HID by the PO) : )
Pls PM me on the total (addition for Intl shipping) when you are ready. Thanks again

Cool deal! Will send you shipping costs once I receive my international flat rate boxes and can verify they'll fit into the small box.

Payment sent. Thanks

Very Nice Looking Targa...:thumbsup:

Hey, nice looking wheels you got there too...

payment sent...THANKS!!!!

Chris could you put up some pictures of a car with these instrument trim rings on it. Thank You Vernon.

Payment sent, Thanks Chris

Payment sent. TIA!

FUNDS SENT!!

Can't wait....I've been itchin' to dress up the interior for awhile. These will be a nice compliment to my new 3-spoke wheel.

Lets talk about the best way to hold these rings on. How have they been attached in the past?

how about a light smear of light duty clear silicone on the back of the ring in a few spots. Something that can be rubbd of gently from the lens. Or, I wonder if rubber contact cement would work. That rubs off easy but I don't know the effect it would have on plastic.

I read somewhere about "modeling wax" that will not harm the bezel rings if one decides to remove the trim rings. I do not know exactly what modeling wax is or where to get it.

Chris,

any news on shipping costs to Canada (Toronto)?

Thamks

Yes sir, I just sent you a PM

I'm at Toronto Guy too - Maybe me and Bliss could double up on a single shippment and I can arrange to pick up from Bliss?

Just trying to lower my carbon footprint by not shipping two boxes to the same place :thumbup:

That would be fine with me. Shipping is around $12-14 from experience, via USPS.

Just let me know.

I used this stuff.....Used 5 or 6 little pieces per bezel and it's holding up well so far.

Does anyone have their slinky rings on yet?

subscription isn't working
 

Can someone please tell me why even though I've subscribed to this thread (chose instant email) that I'm not getting emails when a post is added ?
Is there a limit to the # of threads subscribed ? last I looked I had 328

Yippeeee - received 30 of 60 car sets just a few hours ago.

Here are some images

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...s/IMG_8143.jpg

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...s/IMG_8147.jpg

About half of those 53 sets sold have been paid for to date. Anyone wishing to take delivery of a set of these that is on the list, please, if you will, send funds.

I leave for Japan Wednesday and would like to get these in the mail before I leave.

Said in a Donald Duck voice: Oh boy, oh boy!!:jumper::jumper:

those are purty

They look great & I'm glad to see that the inside edge is bevelled (was wondering if that would be missed).

:jumper:Saw my shipping notice today!

Oh, I hope to see mine too before Chris goes to Japan. Who will be the first to post picts?

Just saw the payment info sorry !!!
Payment sent via paypal.

Thanks !!!

I wana see pics of the rings installed to see if I want a set. Anyone with pics out there?

The Holger rings on my car - Chris's rings look identical.

"Me want...My precious..."

Chris, please have my VISA, Master, Paypal whatever :jumper: Damn, this is the time I just wish my address has a zip code.

Has it been decided what's the best way to attach these?

Andy

Oh...that's where they go! Cool.

Chris, just sent my payment. :jumper:

RE: attaching the rings.
3M trim adhesive? I was wondering the same thing.
Mine should arrive on Friday! Yipee!

I would not use glue. Get the mounting putty or reusable adhesive from like Staples. A bit tricky to apply but by the the time you mount the last ring you got the hang of it. The excess putty can be easily removed with the finger nails. I basically rolled up small strings of it and applied in four places. The rings have not come loose since. Good luck.

Hans:

What's the name of the putty you used?

Andy

I used the Staples brand:

http://www.staples.ca/ENG/images/pro...7748_1_enl.jpg


Or use a similar product like:

http://content.etilize.com/Large/1011916889.jpg

Hit these with some metal polish and they will shine up like jewels.

Great! Thank you.

~A

it looks like USPS delivered my rings today!!!! woohooo

Are these still available? Am looking for two sets. tx Carlos

hey Chris,

sent money (paypal) inc shipping to CAD.

Thanks again

Anton

Just arrived in Tokyo -- I am here to support the first race of the 2010 season for Formula Nippon at Suzuka Circuit. Whew, thats a long flight I must admit!

Anyhow, glad to see some of these being delivered already. I shipped 30 sets on Tuesday. Antoher 30 sets are slated to arrive to me on Tuesday, I will get those out once I return asap.

What a treat!
 

I received my beautiful rings today. I was nervous they might be too bling for me...I like understated. Then, I installed them and they are perfect. It really gives the instrument dials a brighter look, but not bling. Very "Machine!"
Chris, once again thank you for getting on this so fast and doing it so right.:burnout:

Here are pictures.

How did I know that you were going to be the first to post installed pics!?

It took all of 10 minutes to install these. I love how they work with the aluminum shifter & handbrake. Nice job Chris!
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...s/DSC07697.jpg

Damn! I have become predictable. Hey, I have a seminar this weekend in the Detroit area...are you going to be around? I will still like to see those wheels we talked about in person.

AB

Rings arrived today. I can't wait to get them on tomorrow. Thanks Chris!!

Can someone post pictures with white gauge faces?

Thanks Chris !!! awesome work

ditto on the Scotch exterior mounting tape,apology for the crappy rushed photo

Why not the Scotch Poster tape. Appears to be removable. Was it not sticky enough?
I also have Scoth Interior & exterior Mounting Tape. Very sticky though.

Thoughts?

Did anyone notice that the large face gauge rings seem too small for the guages? The small ones fit great.

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

Nice!

Update -- I have another 30 sets done and will ship today and tomorrow.

One question: I have received a money order from B Wilson in Philly -- what is your screen name??

Ha! Just noticed this thread bumped up...I was wondering what happened with this project...was not getting subscription email updates either. Just sent you payment Chris...hope I'm not too late to get in on this! Thanks again for all your efforts.

pcarhombre= B. Wilson

No problem, gotcha on the list. Thanks for payment!

Trying to shake this jetlag -- :)

I have the last wave of 30 sets of these rings now and will ship out tomorrow to those who have paid and on the list.

There are folks whom I havent heard from, they are:

corrdobrit
shu
sonny1
macca
shldrdoc993
black 993
arenared911cab
matt777
85charles

If those on this list would send me an email at cwalrod@sbcglobal.net, that would be greatly appreciated!

Is your steering wheel a different color :icon107:

Cool interior!

Ok. Stupid question of the day: where does one put the tape. Around the outer edge of the ring, or on the bottom of the ring in contact with the glass? TIA

Too stupid a question for an answer?

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.

Is anyone using these with white gauge faces? How do they look?

Rings arrived today! Thanks Chris. After dinner, a cold one and onto installation!

Awesome! Glad to hear this!!

rings
 

Yup, nice job, look great with just the right amount of bling. The 3M tape worked great, BTW.

Thanks again Chris!
Got them and they are all installed. They go absolutely perfect with the 997 aluminum shift knob I put in a while back. :D

I wasn't too excited about the rings because I didn't think they would good with my plain dash. I finally installed them and I was very wrong. They look great. Staples carries the 3M Exterior Tape which worked well. If only someone around here would make a nice ebrake aluminum accent piece I'd be all set.

ps now I need a new ignition trim ring.

^^^looks great Matt!^^^

My most useful contribution to the Rennlist community
 

After benefitting from tons of advice on this great site, I think I finally have new and useful piece of info to contribute.

My car was at the body shop when my rings arrived. I asked by body shop guy how to best affix the rings and he pulled out a new(ish) 3M product called: Press-In-Place Emblem Adhesive. It was amazing - he just rolled the rings on the adhesive and then affixed them in place. They are flush and strong. Totally flush since the adhesive is only a thin residue.

Here is the link to the page on the 3M site: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...glP6P5N7LJ29bl

Let me know how it works for you,

decided not to put the rings on my car...anyone here interested? send me a PM.

Yeah, Chris...how about a billet ignition trim ring? I've seen them on other cars, but don't know where to order one. A handbrake piece would also be nice, but I imagine that would be harder to make.

Looking good. I also have the trim rings from Chris and added some more small alu bits and pieces to the interior.

- e-brake button, tiptronic button and ignition surround from porscheshop.co.uk
- alu look e-brake tray and replacement for the casette storage from design911i

Ignition trim ring would be no problem, just have to draw something up.

Rings
 

Chris, you have PM

Any plans on setting up another group buy?

While I am sold out now, I do have about five folks who wish to acquire --- so, with that, are there any other folks out there who are interested?

The quantities I had made before (70 sets) allowed for some improved pricing. I'll try to get pricing down like before since the CAD models are already drawn and CNC programming already written.

993rd
 

chris, this is my 993rd post, and i'm in for a set of rings whenever you get them in!

I'm in 100%

now for something completely different....

how about alu rings for the small switch's-fog/rear defroster/etc. The Kiwi had them on his beauty from a place in germany-have not been able to locate, though pm sent to him for additional info.

Anyway, anybody interested in little silver rings? Besides, your not doing anything right now anyway, right Chris?

Oh, just a few things:)

Like these

I would be interested if you do another run as well

I'd be interested in the gauge rings if another run is planned

Let me know if you do another run

I'm interested in the next run.

Thanks

I am interested if another run is produced.

Yes, count me in for a set of Walrod rings too.

I installed your urethane control arm bushings and love them!

I am sure your rings are just as well made. You do great service to rennlisters!

Count me in for a set on your next build.

Chris, Please include me for the next set of aluminum gauge rings available. Will be more than happy to advance payment. Thanks, Mike

Me, too.

For Sale...Rare out-of-production Genuine Chris Walrod instrument trim rings...$300.00 Just kidding, (for now). I'm glad I got mine earlier...really love them.
I have a freind with a 911 who wants a set...I bet a second batch will sell if you ever decide to make another run.

Cheers

I would like the one for just the clock if available. I am modding my desk fan clock:cool:

How did you install them? Crazy glue?

I have yet to install my set since the last run.

These look great. Please, add me in for a set.

I am in for a set. Thanks.

I bought 3M double sided sticky foam tape. Cut this into thin strips and attached 4 or 5 to each bezel ring. The rings have stayed in place for the past 18 months and are completely reversible if you decide to remove them.

These should be done this week, ready to ship next week, finally!

:)

Sticky Clay from a florist shop works great and comes off easy

Chris,
Please add me to the list. PM sent. Payment sent via Paypal. Thanks. :)

Great!!
What do you need to complete the transaction?
Address, I assume, for shipping.
How do we pay you?

Do these cover the whole bezel or just the inner part?

any pictures of the red anodized ones?

Just the inner part. Classier look IMO

Count me in for one set please. thanks

How much are they? Or should I send a pm for a price?

Too late to get in on this?

first phase of production will be shipping this next week. I've burned through 2' of material for each diameter already, will have to get more, it appears.

Can we start sending our money or do we wait for a list of the ones that are going to be shipped first?

Payment sent via PayPal.

paypal $$ transferred. Thanks again chris! Will be posting before and after pics.

I'd like to add my name to the list of people on the next order if possible!

Hi Chris

pay sent, any idea when these works of art will be sent my way. Many tthanks

Dave

Got mine, Chris.
Thanks!!

What is the best way to install them?
Some two sided sticky tape I assume??

Got mine today also :)
Thanks Chris

Got mine also, was out of town a bit. Any consensus on adhesive of choice, tape vs clay?

Received mine in the mail recently. The quality is excellent. Thanks Chris.

Man, just saw this. Please put me on the list if you ever decide to build another batch. Super Want!

I don't know that it is "better" but I used clay and it has worked out very well and was easy to work with.

Double sided 3M foam tape worked great for me. They haven't shifted in over 15 months.

Used the clay , easy to work with , cheep and works!

Will these fit a 911?
Thanks

:corn:

Just wanted to say I'm blown away by the quality of these rings! I finally picked up
my set from my US mailbox on the weekend and LOVE the product. I'm in the
midst of doing a write up on the ridiculously easy install and some before after snaps.

Huge :cheers: to Mr. Walrod for a killer product and seamless internet transaction!

Thanks!!!

Are these still available?

Please add me to the list. I will send pm as well.


Thx

Hi Chris

regards,
Chris 993

Hey, I did a write up on my install...there are a few before/after pics: http://boman993.com/?p=312

I would love a seats well.

I would love a set as well.

Nice

Please add me to the list for one set.

As per my e-mail, please add me also - thanks

good job! I noticed that Mill St brew still has the top on at the end, shouldn't it be empty at the end?:rockon:

haha, good point! I crushed it right after taking the picture! I wanted to rep out one of my fave local breweries <-- it's working! :thumbsup:

Sign me up for a set for my 993.

gauge rings
 

Hi Chris
Pls sign me up for two sets. Will also pm u. Tx

When the rush is over and you catch your breath, please add a set of trim rings for my 1998 993 Cab.

The quality looks first rate....

Thanks....

Please add me - Thanks
 

One set please. Thank you.

Just mounted my trim rings. Thought I would share what I used. I used 3M clear mounting tape squares. I cut 2 squares into multiple 1/8" thick strips. I used about 4 strips on each ring. Seems to have exactly the right depth to stick securely and can be removed if wanted at a later date. Only had them on about a week, but so far so good.

Chris,
I would like one set please when they become available, thx
-Zed

Hello, are they available now? Thanks.

Add me to the next batch Chris. We'll worry about how to get them here later!

I am still interested in a set. Let me know the final costs and where to pay. Shipping to 60192.

Thank-you.

You missed me too, please add me to the list and I will send money Ppal.
Thanks,
Dean

Can they be done in different colors? I would love RED.

Shipping to 37210?

Is this happening, or peeps just all excited over an old thread?

Rats, I wanted a set too.

GDF

I have another run being machined now. First articles are due to me tomorrow or Monday, then the rest can run. ETA about two weeks.

Sorry for the delay guys, just been extremely busy.

That's exciting. Are you able to glean a list from this thread?

Is it too late to get in on the fun?

pm sent also if Its possible to get in on some fun let me know

Is there a list being put together?? If so, please add me :)

Yes, add me too. Pay Pal works for me.

I'm in! (if possible...)

I emailed you a couple of weeks ago to be added to the list for one set, but have not received a reply. I payed you via Paypal yesterday morning, when can I expect to receive mine?
Thanks

Hey Chris please don't forget me, you already have been sent the paypal money :)

No apologies necessary. Please add me to the purchaser list as well. Thank you very much.

Add me for a set of red anodized if you are still doing those, thx!

Count me in for two sets!

Hi Chris, please add me to the list for a set, if possible. Thank you so much!

As a much needed update, I have word that I will be receiving trims rings next week. Turns out my machinist experienced some family trouble and had to leave town for a week leaving behind this work to complete.

I will keep you all posted upon the shipping status asap.

right on, Im in forsure.

Chris should we send payment now?

Thanks much all who wish to send funds, I would like to hold-off on that until I have rings ready to ship.

OK...my paypal finger is getting twitchy!:D

Hi Chris, could you please let me know how much the rings would be to include shipping to the UK? I think these rings are far superior in looks compared to anything else I have seen, anywhere. I take it that they will fit a 964, as I have read that they are the same size? Thanks in advance. Brian.

Chris, am i still on your list? hopefully not too late... thanks

Chris, please add me to the list if possible? Thanks, Ross

Please put me on the list of anxious waiters...
slowery at searchoffices.com

I'm in as well, keep up posted thanks! :)

I would like to be on list too, please.

Chris,
I feel like the last guy to the party here, but if the list is still open for additions, please add my name.
Many thanx!

Any chance of being added too please? Shipping to UK please.
These rings look amazing just saw the boman993 site. Thank you in advance.

Count me in!

I would also like to have a set if it isn't too late. They look great!

I finally installed them. Great quality and great looking.

http://images22.fotki.com/v519/photo...MG_3019-vi.jpg

Looks great! It's amazing how much these little rings change the overall feel inside the cockpit..I love mine!

I have received a first wave of rings but have had to reject them due to surface finish, too much tool chatter. They are being remade now.

Thx for the update. And for the quality eye.

Chris,
Can I get on the list?
Thanks, Rick

i cant wait to get em. Too bad about the finish on the first batch. Im looking forward to ordering. Likly going to get the bushings also. Let us know how the second batch turns out. Best of luck

What are you going to do with the rejects? I would be interested in a set if you are discarding.

Nothing like quality control.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Thanks for the update and quality standards!!

Some sets are complete but still need inspection and cleaning (water based cutting fluid). I'll keep you posted.

Any updates? Anxious.

+1 :)

cw gauge rings are in my neat future :cool:

is there any chance to buy a set and get it shipped to Italy?
they look beautiful!

I might need to buy these

Hi Chris, I hope you are feeling a lot better after getting stoned? I would love a set of these rings, as long as they will fit my 964 (you may have seen my much earlier reply), I think I have read somewhere that they are the same sizes? Anyway assuming they are, please put my name down. They require shipping to UK. Cheers and regards. Brian.

I was just wondering of how the ring fit in the original-one.
Do you glue them to the oem?
or just press them into place?
In the eventuality I want to take them off,would the oem have any scratch or paint damage?
just curious....

they look to beautifull not to fit!!!

ciao

Just got my rings and they look sweet. Can any of you guys kindly guide me on what adhesive you are using to keep the rings on? Thank you.

received rings today. Used clay to install. they really make the gauges pop.....

Clay dried out , used 3m tape, worked great.

I used clay/putty to afix mine. I absolutely love them! I did a little write up on my install..

Walrod Guage Ring Install

I am also interested. Please let me know if you have any and the price please!

Hi Chris,

I have sent you a PM regarding making an order for 2 sets of the rings. I am based in the UK. When would you like me to make a payment and what is the wait going to be like?

Thanks

Husain

I got mine - nice product.

how do you guys get them to stick on really hot days? Mine fall off or slide down. Its not a big deal, but sort of annoying.


Ideas? Other then superglue...

PM sent ...... another PM sent ....... and another ...... and another.

Hi Sid

You must not be receiving my replies -- you are on the list, trust me. Just havent had a moment to update the list here on this (Renn)List :)

Second wave of rings will be completed this weekend, which should cover all who have expressed interest.

Try a dab of clear silicone around the ring. It does not take much at all to keep them in place.

Thx Chris. Great product!

Chris,

Payment sent via paypal..looking forward to seeing the finished product!

I would also like to get a set!, I dont know enough post to pm though!
Can i just send a payment to your paypal?

Got mine. Another happy customer!

Chris,

I still don't see my name on your list. I PM you first back in December 2011. I'm ready to pay when you give me the word.

Hey Chris.....great news.....is it same cost to ship to Canada?

Soicowboy

Got mine as well, thanks Chris, looks amazing !

Anyone feels that the two smaller rings are just slightly oversized compared to how the medium and bigger rings fits ? The two small rings does not fit right on the glass like the three bigger ones.

Yes, I noticed that as well. But I'm still happy with the overall improvement in cabin bling. ;)

https://www.fototime.com/1ACB7429916E0C0/standard.jpg

100% agree with you BradB... I also easily installed them this week-end with sillicon, looks fantastic.

Got my rings today. Only a week after being sent to UK which is good. They look fantastic don't you think. Thanks again Chris! Sorry about the big pics!

Great DIY..it was helpful to see where exactly to put the putty and how much...just waiting on my rings to arrive...along with my aluminum pedals that Curve Lover made me buy (kidding) and the 996 black leather/aluminum shifter from Suncoast (no affiliation).

Excited to knock back a couple beers and get these projects done this weekend!

Great job Chris. Mine arrived yesterday. Things take a little longer to get hetre it seems!!

They look fabulous!
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...1/IMAG0475.jpg

that really looks nice.

Sorry for the newbie question but how do you install these rings? Do you glue them to the gauge face? Mine aren't a perfect fit for the guages...slightly smaller in diameter but hardly noticeable...

I used Blu Tack. Result is good.
http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/IMG_8407.jpg

Try a dab of clear silicone

I used 3M putty. It worked great.

I could use a set. Are they pretty easy to install?

More are in process now. Might be a week or so if all goes well.

That's great news! Please Chris add me to the list.

Alex

+1. Pm sent.

I was on the fence about getting these, went ahead and bought them. After they sat in the package for a few weeks I decided what the heck, got an hour or so to kill and put them on........Wow!! The pictures on this website definitely do not do them justice, really a classy addition w/o any hint of bling. Thanks Chris.

Will you have enough for another set, If I order one?

I'd like a set.

Please PM payment info.

Chris,

Any word on when the next batch will be available?

I'm in for a set as well.

Same here, I'll buy a set.

Anyone in the market for new rings or have old/extra set to sell?

those are some sick rings!

Just got my set installed, I must admit I'm very happy with the result overall!

Thanx again Chris!

http://imageshack.us/a/img834/5595/jpb9.jpg

If these are still being produced, count me in for a set when the next batch comes around. How does ordering work? I skimmed through a few pages but just saw people posting "I'm in".
Thanks.

Sidetrack: your car looks great in the avatar. How about an intro thread with LOTS of pictures?:evilgrin:

Also want!

These are NOT Chris Walrod rings...LOL

Count me in for the next batch as well.

Count me in too for the next batch. Thanks.

You can add my name too for the next batch.

Thanks!

I purchased a set from Gert at Carnewal (tried to contact Chris on here but no reply) and am very pleased with them.

They may even be supplied by Chris ?

Count me in as well!

Please include me for your next batch! Thank you!!

By "also want" in my previous post, I mean to say "please include me in your next batch."

NZ
 

Thanks Chris, Rings made it to New Zealand, they look great, now to fit them. I even enjoyed reading the Orange County Register page they were wrapped in :cool:

Anyone who installed with blue tac, did you have residue/overflow? I used what I thought would be too small of an amount and still got some overflow in some places. I figured I'd let them sit for a couple days, pick at them carefully to get the big clumps and then rub everything down with IPA to get the sticky residue off.

Please include me in your next batch. Thank you.

Yes, this is normal. It's definitely a fine line of too much/too little. You have a good plan ~ just pick out the access. You'll also notice that on really HOT days, the tac will melt a little bit, I just re-adjust the rings back into position and it holds again. I've had mine on for 2 years now and they're perfect! :)

I would like to be included in the next batch as well. Thanks.

Will there be a next batch?

Count me in
 

Please include me in your next batch. Let me know when to send payment.

Hi Chris, looking at a 993 Turbo if the deal goes. I would like to get on the list as well please let me know when the next order needs to be placed.

Don't know if there will be another batch or not but if so please throw me in there as well!

since I have the white face dials with the chrome inner rings on the "new" C2S it may be time to sell the two sets of original HOLGER rings I have laying around - or christmas tree decorations - I have a hard time parting with stuff.......

Hi Chris, these look amazing!! Can you please add me to the list

I have a set of NIB Walrod rings I'm not using. Anyone have an extra set of OEM silver (or colored) face dials they would be interested in trading for? Please PM me the details. Thanks.

These look to be the nicest trim rings out there . . . is it still possible to order any? Many thanks,
