Default Aluminum guage rings on Ebay

In case someone is looking for these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...QQcmdZViewItem

I got some on Ebay earlier this year from a vendor selling them for $49.

Not a lot of feedback on the seller, not a good sign...

I've been watching for a while, and the $49 ones haven't made a re-appearance since that first batch - so I'm guessing they won't.

I saw this guy when he had 0 feedback, and that was a bit too much of gamble, but now that he's got at least a bit of positive feedback I figured I'd gamble a bit and ordered a set.

We'll see when/if they get here.

P.S.Of course, now that I've committed the $49 deal will probably reappear - when it does, you can thank me

I'm one of the people who left him feedback. I got mine a couple weeks ago and installed them in about 30 minutes. I think they look great. I'll take a pic tomorrow and post (wife has camera for school Haloween party today).

The rings arrived quickly and communicated well with me. I was worried also about his lack of feddback but rolled the dice.

<shrug> I'd have done the same, especially when we're only talking $49. He takes PayPal, so it's not like you couldn't just get your money back if they didn't show up.

I ordered these for my 996 when i had it. They looked great, were an easy install and arrived quickly. No issues for me.

Too funny, those are the exact same rings I ordered on Monday. Hope to have them in by Friday so I can install them this weekend!

Looks like the ebay ones are $60 cheaper than Eric's.

To me, worth it for OEM and a Rennlist sponser, but to each his own.

Some like to keep their mods as much OEM as possible.
