Default Black gauges Please Help!

Hey guys! I need your help. I've searched but haven't found anything so decided to ask.
I want to get black dials for my 06 4S. Does anyone know where I can get them?
As always TIA.

What colour are your guages now?

It may be cheapest to swap them with someone who wants the colour you currently have...

Trade your "S" for a Carrera, GT3, Turbo, or GT2.

Call the dealer for prices...simple.

I have black gauges on my 09...they are a no cost option when you order your car.

If you have the stock "silver / white" dials, you can probably find somebody right here at RL that would do the swap for thei C2 black ones. Simple - bring both cars to a shop / dealer, each pays for their own labor, and everyone goes home happy. Me, I'm like Mike - love the black dials and ordered my 09 C2S with them (022 option - no cost).

Agreed. Same here. I empathize with the OP - black dials rule.

Default wrong

its cheap, in the 250 range to swap out gauges and reprogram with accurate miles.... silver is 10000X better then black IMO... I did this exact swap, for black to silver then sold my black cluster... do at a dealer so you have record it was done right for later sale etc..
