Cool

All of the previous links and suggestions have been excellent. You may also want to look here:

I do not work for these guys, but I have purchased many items for my 996 from them and I personally have been very happy.

Many of you asking questions on this thread may find what you are looking for here. I check with that link every couple weeks because they update it often and with lots of interesting stuff. If you don't see it, ask them. They probably have it or can make it to your specs.

took me under 1/2 hour to install and cost less than 30 bucks, most of the install is removing the cluster, putting the decals on the dials takes minutes as they are flexible whereas the oem ones are metal and cannot be bent, i figured i would try this first and if i didnt like it i would buy oem ones, i'm really happy with it and do not plan on replacing them

i am really happy with this mod, its probably the best mod in have done to date
Thanks Buzztt. Did you remove the whole cluster, or do it with the cluster still in the dash? Whichever way you did it, what did you have to take apart to do it?
Glad to hear the decals came out good quality. Can you post a picture?

Thanks, I figured as much. I couldn't imagine they were linked, since I'd seen them in all colors and configs.

Can't remember the name but there is a company in Issaquah that makes custom colored guage faces.

Cool. So, general consensus is that there are quality aftermarket stick-on colored conversion kits out there that look good? I don't want to put crap on my Pcar.

I couldn't find the decals mentioned either. I want some red ones & I want them now!!!

I heard red speedometers increase HP by 77%. The RennTrack.com sticker on side, red brake calipers, exhaust, & intake already have me at about 1,000 HP, so with these decals I should be doing at least 1,770 HP to the wheels!!!

... Okay, but in all seriousness. Does anyone have a link to them? Oh, & "buzzt," could you be awesome & post some pics of your cluster? I think we ALL want to see them. Thanks in advance.
