Default Looking for a 996 dash cluster

Welp, it has really proven to be a challenge - I just wanted the clear plastic piece over the speedo gauge (mine's cracked I bought it that way) And it sure appears that the only way this will get fixed is to buy the whole used gauge cluster - If you have one, I have $100 to buy it. thanks - Jenn

dCAuto. Check their inventory online and then call to negotiate a lower price.

Thanks Ralph - II think I may have another option - Do you think the a 97-99 Boxster lens would fit? I can find those for under a 100

If all the lenses are separate parts than yes I think it would.

Many local plastics suppliers will cut different types and thicknesses into various shapes very inexpensively. I've had this done for different projects in the past. It may be possible to have a lens cut and carefully glue it on. Remove your cluster and see if the speedo only lens is removable and use for a template.
