And there is NO gluing of these. You use a bead of silicone. Completely reversible if wanted.
Hey now, stop talking about me in front of my face!

+1. I acutally used double sided sticky pads (sticky squares). The tape didn't contact enough to hold them properly and they rattled some. Plus, you can take them off if you don't like them.

Isn't it aluminum colored plastic? I prefer black plastic with a black leather interior myself.

Likr nick49, mine are are light gauge aluminum with a rich looking sparkle with a matt finish. An eye pleaseing subtle boquet of brightness counteracted by the boldness of a flat texture. Everytime my eyes rest up these "rings of life", I like to muse, I am taken to the dicotomy of life. How we are encircled by......wait, I got 'em, I like 'em. Go Fast, Make Noise.

I've been absent from the list (too much work!!...a good thing, though), but thought I'd post these, to help out. Easy install...I used silicone.

Default Project completed this weekend

So I bought the rings from NRAUTO.
They were indeed aluminum that were painted.
But painted quite poorly.

The quality up close leaves much to be desired
But from the drivers seat it looks fine.
