I have a set I bought from Maxspeed that I only have installed for a day. I used tape and not glue. $50 and they're yours. PM me if you want em and pics.
I also have some white gauges you could install too.

Here you go-

If you install them, use double sided 3M automotive emblem tape, not glue. Glue will bleed out thru the rings and make a mess of your gauges. The 3M emblem tape will keep the rings on solid, without mess.

I've had em on for years, and love em. They look cool at night too, cause when your cabin is all dark and you have the light emanating from the gauges, some of the light bounces off the rings.

I have a set similar if not identical to Boxtaboy's. They have a matte finish and look as if they could be OE IMO.

ddb.......... I like the matte finish. Where did you get these? $?

Bobiam,

I bought them on eBay back during April 2005 from Brandywine Porsche for $105.

I attached them with clear silicone adhesive which worked great. A little adhesive did squeeze out but it wiped right up without any residue.

I don't find them distracting at all and think they dress up the cluster nicely.

Best of luck.

in those pictures, I actually like it.

boxtaboy - yours looks cool. the color looks VERY close to OEM.

the one's I had seen and NOT liked had more of a reflective/chrome finish which I felt did NOT work well - thes pics posted above look more matte and MUCH better.
