Default Racing pedals or colored instruments??

My birthday is coming up(I'll be 83) and my wife is letting me have "ONE MORE MOD and thats it!!!!!" (yea right!!) so I am trying to decide between two aesthetic mods that I really like. Silver instruments from North Hollywood (or palo alto?)
that I wish mine would have come with, with the little turbo insignia. Or racing pedals which are totally cool! any preferences or inputs??

I'm partial to the gauges myself..... Something you can easily see and enjoy every time a cop looms on the horizon. (speed check)

Hey Paul,

I'd go for the Silver instruments ... maybe we can get a better price if we both get it. How much is it anyways?

Congrats again for becoming da man today...

Jdoc, I know this-Jenn and John work their butts off to keep this place, our place afloat. So just because I have a new avatar, doesnt mean I am gonna quit sending in my dough. I think John will get a rise out of that. Bottom line, it means alot to me so I will keep those dues a comin!! Plus how would I get my stickers!!

No question about it, IMHO. Go with pedals, they really set the interior off.

Happy B'Day, by the way and congrats on the lifer status.

Different instruments help you "see" better, but racing pedals help you drive better.

Go with the pedals.

I have been giving thought to having North Hollywierd Speedometer redo my tach. Like rearrange the numbers so I dont have to reclock my tach to the heavenly numbers Anyone else do this? I believe NHS offers this service...

Go for the pedals! Oh, and dont forget the dead pedal..

I'd be curious on the price also for white or silver for my Carrera S. Would like to have the Carrera S on the speedo.

I think the best thing is to do the instruments. they may be a bit more expensive, and it may
be easier for me to get the pedals later.
Tony, I will call for a 3 person discount.

If the price were right, I might make it four.

John I have not really discussed the GT3 with her. and the prices for 993 TTs are abit low, right now
and Ihave to get the right price for mine or the whole deal tanks and I stay with the TT for ever.
guys on the TT board are talking low 60's for 97's I dont know if thats true or just opening Ebay prices but discouraging to me, and my deal.
