My car has grey leather surrounding the gauges with silver faces and black rings which looks good so I won't be using these.

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.

Been thinking about it - not sure how it would look on a car with white faced gauges and brown leather interior....
Does anyone have pictures of how it turned out on their own cars?
Ahh! I've been thinking about it for my black interior with the aluminum accents but wasn't sure how that would look. Looking at Marc's car, I think I may have to get them.
Marc - where did you get the bezel rings?
I think suncoast if I remember correctly...
Notice in your sig you have a B5 S4 ,I used to have one as well, it was a great car! (Blk/Blk 6speed, Stage 2+)
Put them in my full leather black interior. A big improvement!
Also liking Marc's aluminum-look 'flouret.' I had thought about body color, but that looks good!
Yeah, mine was a Stage 2+ too! I think it was the perfect all-rounder; sports sedan, family car and decent (but heavy) track performer! Finally had to let it go late last year. The maintenance costs were getting high, so I had to find a car that was cheap to maintain!
And I don't keep one of those in the car, either.
Sorry, there's just no aspect of this bling that I like, especially the thought of gluing crap to the dash of my Porsche. Dare I say it reminds me of what a teenage Honda Civic driver might do to his car?
IIRC, these were standard on the 40th anniversary model. Sorry but I don't get that this is Honda racer boy mod. Now if these rings had LEDs in them and illuminated, then I would get it as a racer boy mod. Just sayin'
And there is NO gluing of these. You use a bead of silicone. Completely reversible if wanted.
PM me if interested. I have a new unopened set of the matt aluminum ones that I recently took in exchange for a credit I had with a Porsche parts vendor. My car has grey leather surrounding the gauges with silver faces and black rings which looks good so I won't be using these.
They make a huge difference in my black interior, original black gauges.
I got mine (matte) on eBay.
Ed, you can just use silicone which you can also peel off later if needed....
Use silicone to attach them. If you mess up, you can peel the stuff off and try again. No damage to the gauges or the rings.
Plus, they are shiny looking! No real Porsche owner drives a 996 without them!
+1. I acutally used double sided sticky pads (sticky squares). The tape didn't contact enough to hold them properly and they rattled some. Plus, you can take them off if you don't like them.

Likr nick49, mine are are light gauge aluminum with a rich looking sparkle with a matt finish. An eye pleaseing subtle boquet of brightness counteracted by the boldness of a flat texture. Everytime my eyes rest up these "rings of life", I like to muse, I am taken to the dicotomy of life. How we are encircled by......wait, I got 'em, I like 'em. Go Fast, Make Noise.
I've been absent from the list (too much work!!...a good thing, though), but thought I'd post these, to help out. Easy install...I used silicone.

So I bought the rings from NRAUTO.
They were indeed aluminum that were painted.
But painted quite poorly.
The quality up close leaves much to be desired
But from the drivers seat it looks fine.
Hey guys I'd like get your opinion on this.
after seeing the pics on this thread I've decided to get some rings too but I'm not sure should I get them in aluminum or red?
What do ya think?
Cheers,
Sid.
What...tooooooooooooo much?
I know, I know... but it just makes me feel like a young bull at the rodeo when I get in that car.
I'll probably end up changing it at some point but for now it is what it is and it does really make you feel like you're in a race car.
That said, this is part of customizing, sometimes "it seemed a good idea at the time"
you just don't know till you try.
OK so I guess the answer would aluminum then?
Thanks for being gentle guys.
Sid.
He guys Check this out!!!!

HOLY CRAP... that makes little Psycho look sane!! hahahahaha
This dude really lost his marbles!!!!!!
It's been a while but I finally got around to putting those gauze rings...
Almost went with red, but since I added even more red elements to the interior
I thought I'd go silver.
I wouldn't have put these on if it wasn't for this thread, thanks!
Cheers,
Sid.
