where do they sell new ones. can you just replace the rings? part number thanks

ebb

Yes, you can replace just the rings. It is one piece that covers the entire panel. Call Ray at Malloy and he will know exactly what you are talking about. He charged me 65 for one.

fd3virgin

damn, it's 65 for one piece. there's a lot of pieces

I think he means 65 bucks for the clear plexi that covers the gauges that has the rings on it.

fd3virgin

no i want the rings only. my plexi glass is just fine.

I don't believe the rings come separately. They are actually glued to the plexi glass. However, you can break the glue and have the rings re-chromed. It's better just to buy the whole unit for the $65 from Malloy Mazda.

I can't remember who it was, but I do remember someone taking those off and painting them either black or black chrome, one of the two. I think they had some pics of the process, so it may not be too hard to accomplish if you took them off and then repainted them with a chrome color. Just throw some clear on top of it and it should look new again.

$65.00 is a steal for that. Im shocked that someone owns a FD and thinks thats alot for a DEALER part. I would have guessed the Standard $200.

Mine are peeling too, I will call Ray and order one before they are discontinued.

DeaconFrost

what size are the left 3 rings?? 52 mm? I want to put a couple of matching guages in there to replace the crap stock ones.

I actually painted mine to match the rim on most aftermarket gauges. Autometer, DEFI, and any others with the aluminum look. It matches bery nicely. I know most people would probably frown it, but it all flows very well now. I guess I could take a pic...

jdhuegel1

Actually... Look closely in the top left of this pic...

jdhuegel1

Yes.

I advise you ask maxcooper about that before you attack it. It's a bit of work.. Theres a thread around here somewhere.. He replaced them with digital gauges..

ZeroBanger

I still admire how nice you made your gauges in your center console. While I would done it above the radio, it looks OEM. very nice.

I got so tired of always adjusting the din plate that I have...I purchased a center speaker style gauge pod to install next week.

DeaconFrost

ya, thats what I want to do...I remember someone doing that... thanks

jdhuegel1

Thanks! I didn't really think about it when I started the project.. But I plan on doing another one with the gauges up top.

thanks mahjik, i looked them up on yahoo. i ordered it today. thanks alot. what a price 70 shipped.

trunks

i got one at the dealer a year ago, it was expensive and they only sold all the rings together with the glass included.

fd3virgin

it was only 70 shipped. that's cheap for having new shiny rims.

I have a question regarding the clear plexiglass on the front of the gauges.It seems that theres some kind of film behind the clear plexiglass.At first I thought that the front was dirty.Tried cleaning them with windex and had no effect.Then I realized the film was on the backside of the gauges.Can these be removed.It may sound like a dumb question but Ive never messed with the gauges so I simply dont know.

fd3virgin

i got mine today. no film on the plexiglass.

From what model years? Here in the US, the dealers have looked in all the parts fische and have never found separate part #'s for just the bevels, only the entire unit.

fd3virgin
