Question New Purchase & discrepancy on the window Sticker

As I have posted earlier, I will be purchasing a new to me 2003 Turbo this week. I asked the dealer to fax over the original window sticker from the car just to see if there were any options I was missing or hadn't noticed. The sticker lists the Cobalt blue metallic $2245, lumbar support right/left $385/$385, heated front seats $410, Remote CD $715, Supple leather $395, Aerokit $7980 & last but not least Aluminum instrument dials $855.
Am I missing something, but I don't see any aluminum anywhere. I guess I'm just posing a question of whether someone may have removed this.

Here is the completed ebay link or you can see the car at
www.pbautogroup.com

I would suggest ordering one of these:

In the meantime, call Kristin at PCNA HQ (phone # is on the above form), give her the VIN and ask her to try and confirm the options.

The gauges appear to be white faced aluminum dials, not the std black faced dials.
What other aluminum are you referring to, or am I missing something?

I have the same option on my car and they look white just like yours but in sun light they look like aluminum.

I guess I thought this option included the aluminum bezel rings in addition to the aluminum face. My mistake.
FYI, my 4S is leaving tomorrow for San Francisco to a new home.

Congrats on purchasing that Cobalt tt. I love that color and had I found that car when I was shopping back in Nov ( it was for sale then!!) I would have been interested in it myself. That is a very unique color and looks even better in person. They will see you comin fast in that one!! Now get us some pics.

I think the "aluminum bezel rings" are an eBay aftermarket special......i've seen a lot of these cars with loads of OE Alu Pkg, and never one with the bezels. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of these on an OE optioned car?

The aluminum bezels are aftermarket. The "aluminum dials" are the white faced dials as opposed to the 'normal' black faced dials.

Gorgeous car. Congrats!!

The bezels were a tequipment item briefly when the 40th anniiv 996 came out, left just as quickly. Personally, I think they look cheesey, and I had 'em.
