    Yea so you can't blame a ricer for wanting to look cool then fade off and forgetting about performance mods. But you can't pick on the ricers that think their shit is faster then yours and you half throttle it as they are redlining shifts.

    I say go for it, take pictures, let me see if i want it or not, been interested in it. But sorta scared to get carbon fibre because people will call me a ricer....
    I've spent quite a bit of money on my interior, for both appearance and comfort. I think its perfectly acceptable to modify your interior to your own liking, after all, you are the one looking at it, not people you drive past on the street. It too far to be labeled a "ricer" over such a subtle piece of trim.

    Thats why i think that it needs the rings... not so much "to make it pop",
    but without them the gauges get kind of lost in the fiber...

    I thought about it for a while (couple years), and never plunked down. Since, I have seen a couple installed, and was all but impressed. But thats me, and I am uber picky. If you want it, then get it.

    I sit here thinking I do nothing for just looks...and then I remember I am trying for a BBK just for looks.
