Some body ought to market those.......Save folks from having to hunt them down. I bet you could get 10 bucks a pair (unpainted) easy.

its a 75cent brass ring from the craft store ..lol i'd gladly sell anyone a pair for $10 shipped :)

I went to a Michaels and they didn't know about them. I did find some on line though. I also found some chrome press on rings for the Yaris on eBay. 27 bucks plus shipping from the UK. Thats well over 30 bucks delivered and you still have to paint them. Sell yours on eBay and clean up!
Thanks for posting your pics. I am going to do exactly what you did. I Recently painted my center dash and now I want my AC vents to have blue rings too.

i dont know what they are used for its just a brass ring

i could pick some up for people if they wanted

i think they were 75 cents each or 1.39.. i forget which

i can price them out

Thanks for offering but I have mine coming. Thanks for the great pics. After painting the center it still needed a little something to balance it off and this is perfect!

sweet glad you liked it :) i felt the same way .. it needed more balance.

i tapped off and painted the speaker grills on the doors too. and i plan to do it to the back ones too at some point
that really helped tie the doors in

The Scion XD has an optional body colored dash center. That's where I first got the idea.

Hmmmmmm I just painted my console and was thinking the same thing bout needing balance so I was thinking about painting the vents .... but now I'm kinda on the fence wether I want to do that now or do the rings!

the only thing is I am generally bad with epoxy and Glue (I get it all over the place!)

I am sure however that I want to see pics of the speakers/door panels!
