My brother did white face gauges on his 964 and they look great. I have to do this to my 993. These gauges look fantastic in white or silver...

Default white gauges

I have a 993TT with a boost gauge screen at the rpm gauge. The nrauto gauge doesnt have the cut out for the boost screen. So, I'm ordering one gauge with the cut out from FVD.de, then a set from nrauto.com.

jjjMCD,

Love your guage rings. Where did you find those if you dont mind asking me and were they expensive?

Thanks Macca

Thanks. I found them on the internet somewhere (I don't have the link any more). Vertex Auto (among many others) sells them. I think they were less than $100 for all five rings. Use a small blob of blue poster putty (which you can buy at an hobby store) to affix them - completely reversible.

here are the NR gauge faces. It was a fairly easy diy; the faces come with a little tool to remove the needles and I used a spoon to get the housing apart (I believe per Robin's instructions). It is a little time consuming, but worth it.

I did have a hard time installing the gauges straight though

Are you looking for a set for a 6-speed or Tip?

Related, & hopefully helpful to someone with a Tiptronic:

EBay "GEMBALLA WHITE INSTRUMENT FACE GAGES PORSCHE 993 TIP" item #350111217514; FS by 911ava (Gemballa N.A.).

Heinz & co. has been trying to sell these for a long time. Perhaps they'll let the set go for much less than the $620 asking price.
With or without on-board computer display.

Whoa - $620 bucks ! That's pretty rich for some stickers. I don't want to pay that much for white dials. I'd like to put that money into some Bilstein HDs. FVD are selling some for cheap - but I can't seem to find clock and petrol guage in white on their site.

This black/black 993TT for sale from Sloan has silver gauges. They look really damned good, too.

Funny, those that have stock gauges want white/silver/something else...

I ended up with optional Silver gauges witjh the matching shifter and handbrake - and I wish I had stock black!

Go figure.
