Yes, if you use silicone-type adhesive that doesn't harden. Just heat them a little with a hair-dryer or something and they come right off. I used GE clear silicone for mine. Only problem I had was I had to hold each piece in place for a bit while the silicone "set up"

I think the decor rings may require painting. The finish appears to look much, much nicer after painting. You would think they would come with a nice finish. They look pretty plain.

I think I may go the silicone route too. I assume they won't fall off while in spirited driving. I don't think I want to attach them so that it is impossible to ever take them off.

I just realized I also have aluminum instrument faces instead of black. The rings may lose some impact. Hmmmm....

I also have aluminum instrument faces and just installed the aluminum bezels. I believe they actually finish off the instrument cluster very nicely - they sort of tie everything together. I think you will be pleased.

Wow Darren, that looks really nice. I'm sold on the arctic silver painted bezels. They will match my car perfectly.

By the way I got a call from my dealer yesterday, seems that my car was built early so one more month! Any way I can track it guys?
