Nice.

Some Plexus on those gauge faces might fade those scratches ( if they are scratches ) or just clean them up a little better.

Rob - it's deceiving in the pics but it is actually reflections and not scratches, thanks for the recommendation though, I have not tried Plexus yet, so I will definitely keep it in mind.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I am very happy with the results, i just need to get some seat time in this cold, wet weather.

I should have expounded a bit on the cost. I was on fleabay looking for a few items (sport shifter **** in particular) and I somehow stumbled across the rings and noticed a "buy it now" price for 30 bucks. I happend to see them right when they were listed and jumped on 'em. A guy had sold his car but kept some of the trim items that he added - so it was one of those right place, right time things. They are used, but look brand new (not like these are real wear items).

Original aluminum rings, what does that mean?

This was one of the first things I did, my interior is black with aluminum accents so it looked perfect.
