Looks sweet. I was thinking about ordering a set of those rings.

[Limited Edition]

Nice (thumb) the brushed rings look good. Not shiny at night when the guages are illuminated.
It goes well with the trim on the boost guage as well.
How can i order them?

[Ryan]

go for it man there totally worth it, brushed matches the interior quite nicely the chrome original rings are alot shinier and they match the button on the e brake, up to you. I had the chrome ones but when i baught my boost guage i noticed brushed woudl match the boost guage and everythign else better, so i got brushed, and they match everything perferctly. up to you tho.

there 30 bucks i think they end up beign 36 dollars ship and dealing with dave and his wife has to be the easest and most enjoyable experience u will have. they are great ppl.
i have to admit i love them, and if dave comes up with anythign else for the protege's ill definately buy them too.

[Volley2six]

The rings are awesome. I love them. Definitely get them!!!

[Ryan]

amen to that brother, i think daveb's rings get more coverage on protege's than i have ever seen, i went to the olney maryland meet and just about everyone had them.
and dave and his wife are just wonderful ppl and they make the experence even better, and btw dave you guys have hte best shipment boxes i have ever seen :) zoom zoom all over them :) i needa get a picture and post on here, praise them for taking the time to decorate the box there product comes in.

[Limited Edition]

[Ryan]

i believe so yes, not positive u'll have to ask dave.

[Ryan]

wait wait my phone just rang it was dr. evil he said they brush will cost you one million dollars muwahhahahahaha

[Limited Edition]

isn't it one million trillion quadrillion YEN? :D
I'll drop dave a line....

[Limited Edition]

one more question, where can i get the carbon fibre guage trim?
is it REAL carbon fibre?
how much?

[Albert]

dealing with dave and his wife has to be the easest and most enjoyable experience u will have. they are great ppl

I second that, big time!

[Ryan]

the carbon fiber trim i got off ebay, fit perfect, like 29 dollars or something cant remember off the top of my head. they have diff color carbon fiber, yes its real cf. they also have chrome and brushed in those as well.

[Minus]

well make me the fourth person because i just got mine in the mail today w00t

[hellcat]

How much are these bad boys, and how hard are they to install? I haven't seen anyone here in Texas with them yet.

[KYMP5]

looks sweet man
not to get off topic., ryan you coming to the lexington meet?

[FBI14]

I had Brushed for a month and a half now, Install takes about 10 mins, if that

[Ljspeed]

I think im gonna shoot him an email. These do look very nice!

[scott42]

do instructions come with them, or can I find it around here somewhere?
btw, they look great!

[Albert]

He sends you a CD with an instructional video in a few different formats. He's on the ball.

Holy crap, I'm sold. :D

[DaveB]

Hey scott42,

Where in PA do you live? I might be in PA on Sunday. My bother is going to be at Beaver Run this weekend. Let me know, maybe we can hook up.

[Maestrokneer]

I've had the brushed set for 4 months though, so I guess that makes me the first? (Though I highly doubt that)

Anyway, DaveB and his wife Kelly are an absolute joy to work with, and he manufactures a quality product. 11 points out of 10 for DaveB's brushed rings!

[Minus]

ok i installed my guage rings today. let me just say after watching the video i felt like i had done this install hundreds of times. it took me just a little over 30 minutes and that is including the time it took me to cut a little zip tie that was holding me back because my car has an alarm. its also including time where i cleaned my plastic peice off and time for when i dropped my freaking keys down into my dash.... lol

needless to say this is a very quick, easy and noticeable mod. WELL worth the 35 dollars

[scott42]

Dave,
I'm Outside of Philly, close to the King of Prussia Mall. Beaver Run...kind of sounds like that could be a possible Mtn. Biking weekend run thing? Let me know if its in the area. I've got nothing planned, so if it is kind of close, let me know, hopefully I'll have my new tires on and not be rolling around on my steelies with winter wheels :rolleyes: :D
thanks
Scott

[ping]

DaveB's the best./ My wife wants a set for our MPV now, have to measure them up to see if they'd fit...

Mountain biking? Someone say mountain biking? NJ exit 19 off I-80, fantastic area called Deer Park... let me know if you're close!

[DaveB]

Scott42, You've got E-mail

[DaKidd]

Heres a pic of my rings from DaveB, I love them... A MUST have! they match the rings on my piller guages perfictly!!! Hey does any1 know how to get the pics to load right up into the message insted of just making a link to it?

[MrRoseBlackMSP]

how does one aquire these rings you speak of such a hot minor mod im in love

[CruzinAltitude]

oseBlackMSP - Start at the top of this thread, 9 posts down there is the email address for the guy who makes them, get in contact, and enjoy killer customer service and a great product!

[funnylittlman]

A+ Ryan!

I've had them on my car for about 2 months now. Keep a watchful eye for them falling out of the ring, unless you have secured them otherwise! :D

BTW, don't use superglue, like the dumb idiot I was... :(

[scott42]

Ping, I'm never too far for good riding. I like to hit Jim Thorpe every once in a while for a nice day trip (they take you to the top of the mountain, give you a map, and say "have a nice ride". 4-6 hours later, you get to the bottom). I just throw the ol' I-Drive on the roof and hit the road

Yes, I'm ordering a set, and can't wait. Thanks Dave.

[ping]

Just a personal note, not a threadjack - the DaveB rings I got from Dave and Kelly (FANTASTIC service, great people) fit perfectly, no adhesive necessary and have been on for 3000 miles and some rougher roads without dislocating.

scott42 I'll pm you on the mountain biking, have wanted to do Jim Thorpe for a while now... mine's a weird Klein duallie when I'm not riding the Santana Moda (1991 hardtail, sub 24 lb...)...

[no_more_jettas]

I just ordered my set, should have them in a few days. They are gonna look sweet.

My second mod, first was the 35% tint.

That's what I call service. Thanks!

[glyph]

DaveB is the man, and so is his brother

[no_more_jettas]

They are in. Awesome! Little touches like this make the car feel more expensive than it really is. Thanks for a great product.

Installation was a snap. I went with the method of pulling the steering column off, to work around the alarm light. Seemed easier than doing all the work around the alarm sensor.

Dave, what's up your sleeve next?

:) (msptitani

[glyph]

I avoided pulling out the steering column by letting the panel hang to the side. It did have the interesting result of constantly pressing that button...

[srtchick]

just ordered a pair !! cant wait to get them :) yay!:p
