Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2Original post

Its not hard...It was my first Porsche mod with my Boxster. You simply remove the gauge pod, then open it up, remove the needles of the gauges. Peel off the old black gauge faces, put on the new gauge faces, which have an adhesive backing. Then put the gauge needles back on, then reinstall the gauge pod. Takes about 30-40 minutes.....

POST 3Original post

just be careful with the needles. other members have broken them. Also, take pictures to mark the exact position of the needles b4 you remove them

POST 4Original post

I thought it sounded easy. I will never mess with that part of the car. Find an expert and pay them, the downside is very expensive!! Calibration, needle alignment=YIKES!!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

any recommendations on where to buy the gauge faces?

POST 6Original post

I think I got mine from Brandywine

POST 7Original post

I sent you a pm. I have a set that I bought for my brother in law as a Christmas gift that have never been mounted(he sold his 996 shortly thereafter before installing them). They are the aluminum set. I have tried with no luck to get my money back on them, and would be more than happy to let you have them at a nice discount. I paid $299.

POST 8Original post

i may be interested. please send me a pic. Thx
