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.

My interior is black. Like all black. Nothing but black...and in need of some highlights to spice it up.
This is a set of matte aluminum gauge trim rings sourced from
www.didotuning.com
costing $55 including shipping. They snap securely on the gauge rings and can be as easily removed.
They are actually Polish. Here is the site:
http://sklep2.didotuning.pl/334-911-996
The first one is gloss/shinny/polish finish the second one is a flat/mat/brushed finish.
Interesting. These are quite a bit different than the ones I have seen previously. These seem to snap in and just put a small lip around the edge of the dials. The other rings I've seen in the past cover the sides of the dial surrounds in addition to the lip (and those require silicone sealant to install). I'm not sure which I prefer from a looks perspective, but these look like they are a bit easier to install. It's nice that these come in brushed aluminum, that is a much nicer look to me than the rings that are painted silver to look like aluminum (or painted in some other color).
Dido can do them in polished or matte finish, just specify when you order off ebay. Shipping is from Poland. I accidentally bent one when I was installing and he sent me a replacement free of charge, even with shipping from Poland, I couldn't believe it. Great customer service.
Just finished snapping mine in...graphite gray interior. Not too shabby for less than $50. This set is matte and matches very well with the other trim.
I am failing to order a matte set on Ebay or their site. And the email from them when you register is not valid. Anyone have contact info that works?
Thanks.

Just ordered a set from Ebay last week. They shipped right away...When you order you send a msg in the payment confirmation telling them if you want brushed or polished.

It's hard to describe how much this improves the look of the car, and just how much of a no brainer it is. I'm pretty sure I got an 18 horsepower gain from this "modification". :-)
I might get booed out of here, but I’ll give it a shot.
These would fit a 986.1 save for the battery voltage & oil pressure gauges I don’t have, right?
Please confirm these snap into place and I don't need to remove the cluster in order to install. Because that is what it says on their Ebay page.
Thanks,
Ted
Got them on! The hardest one for me to get to clip in was the middle piece, it's a very snug fit. I had to slightly file some of the corners on a few of the pieces as there were little burrs on them. Other than that, makes it look a bit more classy in the cabin, for sure. Matches great with the other brushed accents as well.
Not sure why you would want to glue them into place as they hold nicely as they are, and can be removed should you decide.
I also removed my instrument cluster and cleaned the instrument lens both inside and out, and the appearance is pretty dramatic. I followed this extremely good video:

3:10 in this video is solid gold stuff. That is the most difficult part of separating the instrument pod and if you don't do it right, bad things happen to the plastic.
It does fit, it just takes some time to get it right. Keep at it. Took me 20 minutes. I had to almost stretch it into place around the bezel.
Once it clicks in it is solid and the rest are easy.
Post pics when done.

+1 on working the center ring a little to form the aluminum. It took me about 5 minutes of finger and thumb working after initially thinking the ring was too small. Good luck with it.
Try working it in a circular motion. Apply pressure at 3 and 9 o'clock position, then while maintaining pressure, push right thumb up towards 2 and down towards 4, then repeat on the 9 side. First couple of tries, I couldn't get mine on, then eventually is rolled on.
Update: Just went to my car to get something - and the 95 degree heat must have caused the rings to pop off. They are all on the mat, except the center one!?
If they popped-off, you more than likely did not have them properly seated on the instruments. They need to click into place and you'll absolutely know when they are seated. You can pull them off, but it does take some effort.
I'll probably order these soon but my advice would be to put the center ring in freezer for an hour before install to see if that will help.
Also, here's the video from the folks that produce the rings:
