Re: Aluminium rings

They look great! I've been after a set of these for ages since seeing them on this forum a couple of years ago. really freshen up the dash.
Sadly i'm lacking in equipment and ability to do it myself so waiting for the chance someone starts producing them for TransAms and i'll be getting the credit card out again

Re: Aluminium rings

I know what you mean! Seems like the aftermarket has forgotten about the Trans Am.

Ive made those for TAs few years ago. did a single set of camaro ones too. Not enough interest to make a ton of camaro ones. or more TA ones.
