The seller doesn't mention anything about the swivel detent ring that the vent sets into.  Any info on that?
The trim rings I'm making will have a internal groove for the latches of the vent to slide in allowing it to swivel. A tiny bit of grease in the groove will let it slide nicely  ;D
The Mazda vent appears to have three louvers instead of two...

Updated link to the AC vents. These are the same exact dimensions as the others on in a black color instead of grey.

How about the Mustang A/C vents?  Is $25 ea. too much?  Buy the center section and get two.  Would this work for you guys?

Yea it looks like the vent kinda sets further in from the outer ring, little different. Yes I'm pretty picky haha

Have you looked at the F-150 vents out of like a 08 they have chrome rings. A bit on the expensive side however, but look great!

I just figured since the murcie has chrome around them, otherwise they just look like diablo vents. Who knows they might still look good, I plan on an alcantara dash like the SV's interior.

Tallon got a email from (I'll PM you the name) and he ordered 6 of them and I believe he is going to check on making rigs for them. However they should fit nicely without, modifications (other then the normal trimming to the dash)

wow nice those are cheap, I wonder there is anything that can be used for a chrome ring
unless it's already the size of the vent hole
