Well, I just took the plunge and ordered a set of these beauties from their website. I payed them via paypal as per their request and also asked them to confirm receipt of my payment as well as my ship to information in Canada. Let's see if they even understand what I wrote because I used the Google translator to write the information in and I can only imagine how poorly written my request and instructions are. Worst case scenario, I'm out 58 Euros that I'll get back from Paypal.

I'll keep everyone posted on my progress.

I ll take some decent pics during daylight this eve when I get home from work, to give you an idea on how they look.

I ll start a new thread, maybe some others might be interested too.

Glad other members like them.

I think that they are the most tasteful of all the gauge rings that I have seen simply because of their slim design. I hope that my order goes through and they are able to ship them to me in Canada (or as they write it, Kanada).

Hi WSP993 (aka wsp964) ,

Thanks for all the help and pics! It's really great how "global" Rennlist generosity is!

One pic request: Would you be able to take a pic of the gauges zoomed out? I would like to see how they look in contrast with the rest of the interior.

Thanks again!

Update: I just received a confirmation email from them. They received my paypal payment and are shipping the gauge rings to me today.

Google translation tool is a wonderful thing.

Thanks for the update Alon. How much is shipping to our parts of the world? I'm assuming the shipping shouldn't be too different to Toronto and NY.

I think it was about 8 Euros with Insurance. How's Forest Hills nowadays? I used to live in Fresh Meadows and when I visit NYC, it's usually limited to Mahattan and rarely get into Queens or the Island (lvied in Dix Hills prior to Fresh Meadows).

Hello Holger. I can assure you that some of us who have now ordered your gauge rings are very eager and excited to see them arrive. I am curious if you produce other interior aluminum or stainless steel pieces for our cars. If yes, please let us know.

Thanks again for your quick response to my order placed this morning.

Hi Alon,

thanks for your reply.
I will be happy, if some other members of the bord will place a order too.

At the moment we do only offer the bezel rings for the 911, but it is possible to produce some more items if you let me know were you are interested in.

Your item will be send out on 23.06.

Thanks again and best regards........
Holger

Holger, I think that by now you've seen a few orders come through based on the activity on this post. As for producing other items for our cars, have you considered door sills with custom text, dash face panels in aluminium (like the original Porsche carbon fibre but only in Aluminium)?

Thank you again.
