Default trim rings installed!
So took me about 10 minutes to install. Love the look!!! Wish it wasn't winter here so I could take her for a spin

Sorry for the crappy pics. They were taken by the iphone!

Chris Walrod made some a while back...don't know if he has any sets left.

These are a must have mod AFAIC, they really make the gauges POP!

not like you can waltz on over to any auto parts store and get a set. Chris continues to do the Porsche community a great service.

They are worth the money, no doubt.

Thanks Chris, you da man!

Not sure who made them, however they are the kind that fit inside the guage not over it. They were given to me by a nice man named Alf! Really liking them so far!

Magdaddy, I know you're no newbie here, but you know you can't get these in a parts store. For those that don't know, you can contact Chris Walrod or FDM to order a set.

I never got to install mine. Can you guys share on how you did the install?
I read a lot of posts with the 3M tape, but it seems too wide to fill in the gap all around the dials.

Thanks !!!!

I used the thinnest double stick foam type tape I could find. Standard double stick tape I thought was too thin. Anyway, I cut very thin strips across the width of the tape, maybe 1/8", or slightly less than the thickness of the actual trim ring. I attached them at only three points around the dial.

From the pass seat, if you look real close...you can see some of the foam on the clock ring. You reeealy gotta be looking for it.
