I think that red might look amazing. I don;t know how well it is to stare at though but I've seen posts by guys with red gauges and wow! Who are you thinking of ordering them from? Is your car from Pfaff?

Hey Alon

First off Congrats on the new ride!!!
Car Is from Pfaff, and ironicly its back there now, If they give me a good trade in value, I think it might
just stay there too. I was going to purchase these from Porsche Parts, IF I KEEP the car!

Thanks. Good trade in value for what? Why wouldn't you keep the car, you've got 997 fever or is it causing problems?

I know what you mean about the 997. I was looking at them as a comparison to my 40 Jahre and even the 997S didn;t do it for me unless I dumped $35k of options into it. Even then, it's just not aggressive looking enough for me. I'll wait a few years to see how it progresses. As far as the C4s, they do have a couple of sweet ones for sale there (which one are you eyeing, the silver with painted lowers and suspension?). Have you driven a C4s? They look great but I still prefer rear wheel drive and the lack of weight of the C2.

leave them black with the alum rings, looks great. I have white dials and they look good too!

Don't waste your money on engine mods........

Good point. Get your suspension done first and then worry about the gauges...
