Default Need original gauges for a 97 turbo S

The original owner of my 97 turbo S decided before taking delivery that he didn't like the S gauges with the silver white inserts so he had the dealer put in standard turbo black one's. Porsche wants 2900 for new original gauges and North Hollywood speedometer says he can only come somewhat close to duplicating the chrome looking retaining bezels. Doe's anyone know where a used set is for sale? The retaining rings are the hard part. Any ideas would be appreciated.

There are several vendors that sell bezel "covers" in aluminum (satin and polished), and chrome. Would covers like that work for you? Or do you need the real bezels themselves?

Steve, I would prefer original bezels. North Hollywood speedo can do a variety of finishes but has never been able to duplicate the original porsche process.
