Good point Alon, that should be the first thing that any 911 owner should do to his car.

I've got red gauges in my C4S Cab on a black leather interior - red seatbelts, red calipers, and that big red reflector band across the back...

btw, I've got a stock '04 C4S suspension, rims and rubber (all never used) available for sale if you're interested...

Not sure you can use a C4S suspension in a narrowbody 2wd car.

C2 and any C4/C4s/TT/GT3/GT2 suspensions are not compatible (only the rear is the same).

The question about the brake and shifter--try Gert first, then Suncoast [http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me..._Code=POTE996]. As far as my opinion on the gauges, I think red would look good b/c its different...I have never seen a 996 with Red Gauges. You may want to check LA Porsche Dismantlers as well--they have random stuff come in a lot that you can save a boatload of money on [used parts]...

No affiliation, of course....

I see brake handles and gear shifters on E-Bay all the time as well as the usual, reliable sources.

Stop wasting money on things like friends and spend more on the car already! What about exhaust? Come on, don't stop now.

PSS9s and you're not going to track the car? For what? If you're diving your car in the winter, forget about coilovers. I had H&R coilovers on my first 996 and after one Toronto winter, they corroded to hell. If you've got the factory sport suspension (option 030) and you don't want a harsh ride on the streets, go over to Pfaff and drive any of their cars equipped with the H&R springs and factory sport shocks. You'll be impressed. If you want more, get the X74 kit or H&R springs with Bilstein shocks.
