I am actually talking to a guy about this very same thing. Chrome or polished. I have to wait and get mine for my protege and see if any of those fit and then he can start fabbing up new ones. I should recieve my protege ones here within the next few weeks. I will try and remember to let everyone know how it goes.

Ok here is the deal. I just wanted to give this a bump and let everyone know that I have recieved the rings in the mail for my protege. I will check fitment on an 84 cluster and an 83 cluster. I am gonna get in contact with the guy who makes them and let him know what I find out. From there he will decide if he wishes to pursue any further. Obviously, if the rings are the same size, then I think (I think) he may be interested. Not for sure so dont get too anxious.

Well I tried them out on the 84 gauges and they were close but not close enough. I will try 83 gauges tomorrow if I can get them out. Those things are such a PITA to get out. Do SA gauges look like the 81-83 gauges? Someone let me know.
