I looked at those too a few weeks ago and am wondering how they look but I think I may do a full dash resto as linked in a recent thread.

I bought the kit a few months ago. Very nice, easy to install.
I'll try to post a pic later this evening

I was pretty happy with it. Probably a lot easier to glue the pieces on if the dash is out of the car, otherwise you have to glue it in place, then use tape to hold it in place while the glue dries. Comes with the 4 rings, the high beam, turn signal, and heater surround, the glue and applicator stick

That looks pretty nice. I may consider doing this when I redo my dash.

Also bought a set, they do look pretty sharp. Much improved look vs. the factory chromed plastic.

The rings are thicker than the stock bezels, and stand out to those 'in the know'. That said, I've seen them on a couple of cars, and they look very sharp compared to model paint, which is what I have on both of mine. IMO, the best look is a completely plated stock dash, but that's hundreds of dollars. The rings seem like a sensible, classy alternative. I may gab a couple of sets....

Very pleased with the stainless steel dash rings. Very easy to install--mainly because the glue they send is a rubber texture that comes off easily. No need to worry about getting too much on the rings or your fingers.
