Hard to get past this brown instrument cluster, otherwise a fine looking car.

I like the brown instrument cluster as well. It looks rich and different.

You can see the colored decals have shrunk / shifted and no longer align with the numbers & lines underneath. I have the same problem with mine, with the fun addition of bubbling. Common on the gauges ordered in interior color. A new binnacle is $3,000 and is subject to the same problem. I had FVD print me a replacement set for approx. $480. Very good quality, not a perfect match but close. The replacements will not have the bubble / shift issue. I am too chicken to pull my needles for the replacement so I will probably send it out to the pros this winter.

Exact interior color I have on my TT, except the gauges and console. I like the brown gauges though.

Looks like a really lovely red '04 996TT cabriolet with only 37k miles and a nice set of options:

Those Sport Technos sure take on a different look when painted.

When I had my Techno's refinished this past spring, I almost did a similar color combination. Kinda of glad I didn't, to me the stock color is better.

That two-tone wheel paint was available from the factory.

This one will be fun to watch. Might go for big bucks.

I’d be very surprised if that doesn’t get top dollar. A 3 pedal 2005 “S” is pretty rare and that color combo is beautiful.

That's a gorgeous 996 Turbo. It appears to be very well taken care of.
