TinyGiant · 09-14-2009, 11:31 PM

I saw some snazzy trim rings on echo_hrs car and thought i needed a pair. I decided to get creative and make a couplefrom some 3" brass rings from the local craft store..

anywho.. here is the end result :)

lol there really isnt more to say .. they were .59cents each. i spray painted them and glued them in place. easy as that

only paint one side so the epoxy can stick.

really easy and cheap mod :)

ezhacker1 · 09-15-2009, 02:35 AM

Nice. I wanted silver for mine. I was going to paint mine, but I'm not sure how to remove that vent assembly.

i unclicked some of my dash last night but quickly found the whole thing was going to have to pop out to make it happen.

this was much easier

I ended up painting the whole vent assembly silver, including the cupholders. If you want to do that, you'll have to remove the whole dashboard, since it's all one piece.

Looking good, tinygiant!

TinyGiant · 09-15-2009, 12:51 PM

just be careful with the epoxy so that it looks clean :)

so i saw those purdy trim rims on echo_hrs car too, now when you say brass are they gold? did you paint yours? I'm looking for silver/chrome/brushed aluminum looking ones. great find btw!

TinyGiant · 09-20-2009, 10:39 AM

yeah they are gold in color. I painted mine. you could just go get a can of chrome spray paint and paint them before you glue them in :)
