Finally did the Aluminum Ring Gauges
Had these lying around in my garage for about 6 months. Put them on a few weekends ago and am just now getting used to seeing them. They really pop after the interior detail.

Looks really good and I've always like the white gauges.

Put a small bead of clear silicone around the inside edge of each ring. Then temporarily tape them in place while they dry (~24 hours) - I used blue masking tape.

Thanks for your comments. I got these at http://www.eagleday.com/interiortrim3.html and they were pricey ($177) but they are very well made, nice and heavy and the finish was perfect.
Like LI911 said above, just use clear silicone and blue painter's tape. Make sure you have a few Q-tips handy to take off any excess that might seep out onto the cluster lens'. The 3 largest rings fit great, but the smallest rings (OP and Voltage Meter) definitely needed more silicone and needed a full day to set up.
