Default Where do I find Gauge Faces for a '99 996 that dont cost $299?

I am having a hard time locating a vendor that sells the gauge faces for 175 MPH Speedometer Cars , 1999 to 2001.

whitegauges.net can make them for me if I had a donor set to send them. Anyone out there have a black set they want to sell?

I know you do not want to spend a lot but NR Automobile has them for $249.00. Unfortunently they only have them in aluminum now. I had bought them in white a few years ago. Great quality and a nice product..

Can you tell me how thick the aluminum is?

Also are the numbers cut into the aluminum or is there some number decals applied on top of the aluminum?

Any closeup pics you can provide of your gauges?

TIA

Please let me clarify.. They are not aluminum, they are aluminum color (silver).

They are made of a plastic and are not decals. The replace the original Porsche OEM guage face plates, which means you have to remove the guage cluster, open it up and carefully (with the tool provided) remove the needles. Then you replace the face plates and put everything back together.

I did mine (with the white ones) and it was not hard to do but did take some time. The quality of this product, from my perspective is awesome. They look as good if not better than the stock product (IMHO).

I will post pictures later when I get home..
