Everyone knows about the door knobs/pins. To completely the aesthetics of such, are you guys interested in aluminum door rings? These are to replace the OEM plastic ones. Pricing is not finalized (as I'm seeking interest to see if it's even worth it) but ball park figure is between $30-$40 (for a set of 4). Note that you can get them from japan for a whopping $80.00!!! if you are lucky enough to get them to ship them stateside. If there is enough interest, lead time will be 30 business days or so and we'll go from there.

Here are a few pics:

It's too dark to take a picture of it installed. I'll update the post with one installed tomorrow.

Update: Some installed pics from japanese websites (same exact thing as mine):

Sorry but what does this have to do with the rings? :huh:

Seems like a generous amount of clearance between the pins and rings. For the price, though, I'm in even if it's just to give them a try. Especially since I'm a super cheapass and will look for another interested C70 owner who wants a set so we can split them :)

Hence, the rattle with those above in the pictures, those are the japanese ones. The tolerances were way too loose. Also, those pins taper at the bottom and just about starts tapering where it's located on the ring thus the large shadow.
