Looks good man. I like the subtle appearance mods. You know that something is different and it looks good, but you're not sure what it is until someone tells you.

I would shell the cash for the actual rings. Cheap and look much better I tried painting mine spent an hour masking them all off then painted them.

Looked like crap. I hated it you could tell it was paint see the paint lines that didnt match up. just looked out of place.

I mean its a good idea, but I think the chrome rings look much better.

ive seen the chrome vent rings and i didnt really like them. seems like they stood out too much. i put a couple light coats on those and let the paint dry properly, and didnt have any spotting or cracks. but i had a firebird and i did the same thing in that, so i already had alittle bit of practice the 2nd time around.

I think it looks really good, and it's always nice to be able to do for yourself.

I have the chrome vent rings and they are starting to show their age after the years using the A/C. The slight condensation is starting to get them dull with minor discolorations, as they are chromed steel.

I have actually considered painting another set I have silver as well. I think I would do the center rib also.

Looks really good. Nice feeling when you do something and like the way it turns out.

turned out great,its cheaper for sure and looks cool... but still can not compete with the looks of the chrome rings I make for the vents... to my humble opinion.
Have them in for 3 years now... they have not lost their bling for a second! if you polish them once a year or so they wil look even better!

To be honest, I have had my chrome rings since 2007 and have never given them any TLC. With the A/C on they do condensate a bit, being metal. I'll try hitting them with some chrome polish to clean them up a bit.

I think this is a nice way to go as well...

Your also not a sponsor and shouldn't be advertising those rings, like you just did and continue to do, somehow slipping through the cracks of the non sponsor rules....
