Rings Around the Gauges

I just installed a set of gauge rings from Explicit Auto in the 2001 Bullitt. I saw photos online of these rings, and I immediately liked the satin finish rather than the more common chrome or shiny finish I see elsewhere. I believe Explicit Auto is not officially in business anymore, but I was able to purchase a leftover set of rings.

The install is straightforward, and the directions supplied in the kit are super. The rings are plastic and they install from behind the gauge bezel. This installation gave me a chance to clean out the dust that had accumulated in the gauge cluster over the past ten (!) years. I think the finished product looks pretty good.

The gauge rings look good with the silver Autometer bezel at left.

The satin finish goes well with the other Bullitt interior features
such as aluminum shift knob and pedals.
