I used the glue and aside from it being a pain in the butt to use, it only lasted a few months.

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.

Looks great. I added them too.
Did yours come with superglue? Mine did and that's what I used. As soon as the temperature fell below freezing, they started falling off. Someone recommended using silicone so I reinstalled them and they are holding nicely.
anybody having those with the carbon fiber surround and blakc interior ? I wonder how it would look.
even better if you also have the grey dial.
I am afraid that carbon + grey dial would make it overkill.
Here mine with black and "some" red...
Not the best close-up but it gives ya good overall impression.
I've got to tell ya it was a real pain in the butt putting them on though, tried 4 different types of glue before the damn things stayed put
But i agree it makes a big difference
I see 20/15 actually. And the trim on all the gauges is cheap silver plastic on black. Aluminum might be a little better. I drove one for two years and always hated the gaudy styling of the car, just liked how it drove. Those just remind me very much of the styling and I like how the 996 is rather plain. It just looks more MINI than 997 to me. but to each his own.
OMG... you're actually serious aren't ya!?!
You just went on a Porsche forum and publicly stated it reminded you of the mini... OK... yupppp ehhhhm pfffffffh arghhhhhh nuf said
I'm willing to bet ya don't actually own a Porsche...
Nope I don't my dad does and I have just been collecting info for him, but I sure wouldn't let him do that.
Sorry that comment upset everyone, I just think the instrument cluster looks good how it is and was very surprised that people would be gluing pieces of aluminum to it in a rather nice vehicle.
Some words of advice from an old geezer. If someone says they're thinking about painting their car with pink and orange zebra stripes and asks what people think about it, feel free to comment. However, if someone posts a picture of their car painted that way and doesn't ask for opinions, only comment if you like it. If you hate it, close the thread and open another one. This simple advice will get you far in life
Anyone doing this mod - don't use the superglue that comes with some of the kits. Instead, use clear silicone. I used the glue and aside from it being a pain in the butt to use, it only lasted a few months. After all of the pieces fell off, I reattached them with silicone and they have been held on securely ever since.
Clear silicone worked perfect, get the stuff that peels off like on the back of new VISA cards. It will all peel off in one piece if you ever want to remove them. Their a must have!
Hey redridge and the OP looks awesome. I am doing it next on my ride, just did alum pedals and it looks 1000x better. Redridge how did you get digital MPH reading under your RPM. I did a search but came up empty.
