Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'Use reap' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use reap' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all,
I've got some tiny tiny bubbles underneath the gauges on my dash - specifically the rev counter as it happens. Doing some research online seems to imply that these are an aftermarket addition and underneath there are black instruments.
I've never particularly liked the silver faces as is and would much rather have classic black gauges so can I just peel these things off and chuck them in the bin and have nice black dials? What's the best way to get the pins off if that is the case?
I have the same thing on mine. They are listed as a factory option but still seem to be stickers because of the bubbles.
Was hoping to get replacement gauges but on hold until later due to $400 prices!!
There is a company that supply and fit replacement dials faces or stickers (not sure) but never been able to get an answer over last few months.
I guess possible they could be black underneath but if factory possibly not, if you look deeper, let me know as would rather have black face dials than bubbling silver ones (mine are tachometer and fuel only that are bubbling).
Plenty of videos on U tube, can remove needles but needs care and advice seems to be directly upwards to avoid breaking anything and Mark where they point to before removal so they go back in same place.
Good luck
I've just ordered a set of replacement gauges (not decals) from these guys;

Bought through their eBay shop for about £77, incidentally a colour change from my factory silver gauges, I've heard good things about them albeit a little fiddly to fit :thumb:
I believe that these guys have a pretty good reputation though can't say I've tried them myself. I don't think I have the "Delicate touch" and patience to fit these properly myself!
I DID fit the brushed aluminium guage rings on my 996 though and they did give the cluster a bit of a visual "Lift".

Haha just ordered some red dials for my 997 - let's hope they come through ok. I wanted to use Reap, but they are so busy that the wait was too long for me
No mine look like this (albeit without the strange American temps)
Thinking more logically they can't be stuck on as the numbers are dark on my panel and white on the black instruments which obviously wouldn't work.
