OK guys and gals, Shaker ring installed. Pictures attached. I have more pics if you need to see them. Make sure and mask off the ring with double or triple layered tape to prevent any scratching of the paint. It appears from the pics that Saleen attached the ring before painting the stripe, thus painting them together. This new CDC ring is about a 1/16" wider all the way around over the Saleen ring. This actually is good because it covers the paint edge quite well. Also this ring is textured exactly like the shaker and looks great IMO.
The base for the ring seems to works fine when installed. I did have to manipulate the rubber gasket around the inside ring a bit. I did rivet it on with the 4 attached rivets in the kit. The hood closes fine, although a bit tighter now. I'm sure due to the rubber gasket being a bit lower on the inner ring.
As you can see my Saleen ring was broken in two places. Take your time prying up in the rings edge. You will have to carefully scrape off the sealant/glue that Saleen used before installing the new ring. Total install time was about 2 hours for me. Enjoys the pics. I hope this solves the cracked trim ring for some of you.
