    Got mine in yesterday, had the same issues with the start ring. Didn’t fully seat but got it on. Looks so much better.

    @MESO Do you know if your planned vent rings will be compatible with the Hondo Garage vent mount? I installed my chrome delete kit today and can't wait for the AC rings and vent rings!

    Installed mine yesterday. I did not have the issue of the start ring not seating properly. Mine went in no problem. I did put my 4WD selector in upside down though after seeing that MESO said there was a specific orientation for it so I took it back apart and redid it. Lol I think I'm the first calv blue one to post here. Sorry for the dirty truck and the sub par pictures but this is calv blue. I like it a lot. Thanks MESO!

    I have not tested the hondo mount, but I am pretty sure it will work. The new rings sit exactly where the chrome ones were. Here's a pic for reference

    It's being addressed for people that are experiencing issues. Happy to send another in the meantime.

    I actually think I got it. I ran it under a hair dryer for a couple mins and put it in and played with it. I heard a snap and its in evenly with no humps/sticking out. Either I broke something or it's in! :fingerscrossed:

    Really happy with how these turned out. They were very easy to install, and as much as I still think MGM is perfect for the interior, I still think cement was a good choice :)

    Initial Impressions / Feedback;
    - Video ALWAYS helps before install. MESO man-handles removing interior trim like no ones business :p
    - Center Console Cup Holder snapped in very gratifyingly and had no issues or concerns with stability. After it clipped in securely, I flipped it back around to visually make sure clips were secure. I noticed 3 tabs that looked secure, but still were being pushed up (the direction you push them to unclip them) and with a flat head reached in pushed all 3 down with no problem, just to make sure. Again, I don't think it was needed.
    - Start button ring was easy to remove, and though it took a few moments to make sure it was properly aligned, as soon as I found the sweet spot I pushed in and had no problems with it staying flush. It definitely does not have the sound of success like the center console, but after inspection had no issues with it popping up or not sitting flush.
