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.

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

POST 2Original post

Looks great--the install sounds kind of scary. Was it bad?

POST 3Original post

Nice job, looks great, love the new look. It would be awesome if you had taken some pics throughout this Mod or simple write-up? I was also considering it but the idea of removing the whole gauge and also the different needles is very intimidating, I may break or damage something in the process, Oops... I am sure I am not alone here and many would also consider this Mod if they know exactely how this can be done safely. Cheers,

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The best was to do it safely is............ have the dealer do it! I was a coward. J.

POST 5Original post

I had that feeling when disassembling the accelerator pedal assembly and bringing it into my house. No matter how unlikely, it was easy to imagine the shame of having to call for a tow to the local indy because i had disassembled the pedal and couldn't get it back together...

POST 8Original post

They look nice. I think it should be standard. I'm thinking about putting the aluminum bezels on mine for extra bling.

Ed, after all the other work you have done on your car this should be a snap for ya. There is a DIY on Renntech. I haven't opened the pod, but I have had the pod out, it's not too bad (hardest part was removing the hazard switch for me).

POST 10Original post

I had the aluminum gauge faces on my '04. I really liked them much better that the black faces I had seen in other 996 cars.

POST 11Original post

Do they have the NR Auto logo on the tach face?

No. As for the cost, two hours labor. Here's some bad pics:

POST 15Original post

to do this perfect you need to wear gloves and preferably be inside a dust controlled room, similar to a paint booth. the gloves are to prevent fingerprints on the clear plastic lenses and on the gauge themselves. the controlled room is to avoid fine dust and air particles against the lenses/gauges which will normally be invisble in normal to low light conditions, but will be visible when light shines on the guage cluster. some guys only change the tach and leave the rest in black. this looks pretty cool as well.

Sounds racist to me, Tim.

POST 18Original post

Well, I guess I have another item on my shopping list. I really hate the orange/black combination.

POST 19Original post

Yeah, I've been scared off my this mod also... I'd love to go with the white gauge faces.
