Jeff - Thanks for posting the PICs! The gages look GREAT! I have silver faced gages in my '04 996. Fortunately for me the first owner ordered the car that way.

 

Very nice! Which ones did you install?

Thanks,
Graeme

 

IMO I prefer the factory black but I agree it looks great w/your silver interior.. I've just got full black leather on a triple black 996 C2 and I look like batman LOL

 

OK got it. Here you go thanks,

 

I got them from Brandywine. They are supposed to be from a OEM supplier for Porsche but I doubt it b/c I bevieve that they would say VDO on them and they don't. It's ok b/c they look great.

 

put the aluminium rings around them as well. i thought it would be too much, but i found the rings really added to the faces and the overall look.

 

Those are nice guys!

Anyone has pictures of gages with the black faces but with the Aluminum rings? Thanks.

 

chrome rings would look HOT!

 

Are the numbers and needles lit against a now-dark aluminum background?

If so, then I'd think there's an awkward situation in dim light (such as at dusk) when the face is darkening and the markings are lightening, such that you lose contrast and it's hard to read. This is my experience on a VW Passat (dog car).
