with all of the little plastic tabs and clips I am always more worried about disassembly because it always seems getting them to release needs about 10% more force than I think will break the part. Lol.

I wish that I had documented it all, but I was working pretty quickly there is a good YouTube video on how to take the console apart i can link to if people want.

can be done. Chrono is not so complicated, center tach us a bit more complex. I did both - pics earlier in this thread

No, we've done a lot of testing. Spacers (we think) look good on the stock wheels to help add a more aggressive look. When you lower the car, the wheels really tuck inward so it becomes more important if you want to maintain a clean look.

If you need some real quality forged AL spacers at reasonable prices for our car - look here: https://4wheelspacers.com
No party to spoil, we sell over 85 brands at MAP/retail pricing and provide free shipping on all orders over $299 in the U.S. We also provide very personalized service and support. We invest in a plethora of designing, developing and testing solutions and we share those results with consumers. There will always be cheaper options here and there on certain "parts" and if what we provide isn't of value to you, it's your money we understand.

I assume you heard about camber adjustment …

Unfortunately, it's not possible on the 992 like it is on previous generation. The entire wiring harness is completely different and there's no way to code in just the chrono clock. There are just too many sums of parts for it to be plug and play. It might be possible someone figures out a way to draw power and have an independent clock controller. I ended up buying a vent off ebay and we developed a 3D printed mount for the Banks Power OBD module. It provides a full configurable gauge that can monitor a ton of stuff like boost pressure, IATs, AFR and you can even datalog and reset DTCs through it. Not for everyone but I've enjoyed having another monitor. I'll be replacing it with the Snow Performance WMI controller when I add WMI to my 992.

Can you share a link? We looked at all of the wiring involved and couldn't get the gauge functional.

Yes, but some folks prefer more negative camber for backroad/track driving.

that’s actually quite interesting but he asked about just adding the color rings as shown in the previous post.

We'll be releasing our kit shortly. We're waiting on the machine shop to finish our first batch. We like 10mm all around. We think it's a nice OEM+ type look. Here they are on our 992 lowered on H&R springs. A fun fact, we 3D printed every size from 5mm-20mm to test different combinations at both axles. We've done a few locally for customers with H&R spacers. If that car is lowered with negative camber, 15mm/14mm works for a very meaty/flush look. I don't think anyone would want to go over that or they'll risk rubbing.

I thought @kgs365 was asking about adding the Chrono clock if not equipped.

buy gauge face from:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/203684269169

remove center plastic with this video and unplug cable from clock

at the back there is a hex on the clock, grasp with pliers and turn it counter clockwise, the gauge will come out.



once out you need to pop the glass and bezel, on the side you can pop it with a small screwdriver.

remove the glass and 2 rings (make sure you see the order it came out. take a picture of the needle position

remove the needle by popping them out with 2 small spoons (see example)


once out remove the black face and reinstall back together the same order you took it out and position needle at the location it was.

place gauge back in plastic holder, turn clockwise to lock, connect wires back and reattach
