Thanks to @Bob Z for the tips!

The paint in the below picture I ended up not using. It was a little too matte for my liking. I ended up used VHT roll cage & chassis paint (satin finish).

They are super easy to pop off. Use a screw driver or preferably a plastic trim tool, and pry it from the inside of the ring, not the outside.

I used 2000 grit polish sandpaper to rough up the surface of the rings.

Looks so much better,

Nice, and it is the little things that make a car your own.

Great work! I also like the sanded down look, like more a satin or brushed finish. Would match those brushed nickle exhaust tips from aliexpress

Is your pry tool aluminum or steel?

I was seriously considering trying to paint the rings anodized red lol

I am sure typical plastic pry tools will work fine, but I prefer metal pry tools because there is no flex when I am trying to pry. This is the one I got. I sanded the end down even finer when I got it. It's my go-to now.

Thanks, I think it was a @JetFuelOnly video where I first saw one of these used. I just ordered one.
