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.

Jeff - Thanks for posting the PICs! The gages look GREAT! I have silver faced gages in my '04 996. Fortunately for me the first owner ordered the car that way.
IMO I prefer the factory black but I agree it looks great w/your silver interior.. I've just got full black leather on a triple black 996 C2 and I look like batman LOL
I got them from Brandywine. They are supposed to be from a OEM supplier for Porsche but I doubt it b/c I bevieve that they would say VDO on them and they don't. It's ok b/c they look great.
Are the numbers and needles lit against a now-dark aluminum background?
If so, then I'd think there's an awkward situation in dim light (such as at dusk) when the face is darkening and the markings are lightening, such that you lose contrast and it's hard to read. This is my experience on a VW Passat (dog car).

hey mundman,
have you verified and caliprate all needed 'cause the oil, bat and gas needles seem a bit low ...
all needle should be at zero at on ( without engine running )
besides that, they look sweeeeet , I was going to go white alike you too, but change my mind and went for yellows.
Have fun
That's a good point and very observant. The ignition is off as I took these pics. My fuel gauge is a little off but all else is fine. I verified with my handy dandy PDA w/autoenginuity software. Shows me actual rpm, temp, voltage and speed.
Hey Guys,
Where can I get the aluminum rings?
We just traded an 05 boxster that had the aluminum rings - for an 04 C4S that does not - and I think they look pretty good.
Thanks,
Kirk
Bought mine from brandywine for 110.00 - came in a very generic looking cheap package, but the rings seemed ok. In this may's Excellence mag ads: suncoast lists for 149.00 and NR auto (nrauto.com) shows them for 99.00
