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.

Thanks. Yeah, mine are matte, not chrome finish. To me, they don't at all look out of place in the car, and before, the all black gauges I had without any trim rings looked just kinda too plain and boring to me, so these nicely touched things up. I had an all black interior, and wanted to add more silver/aluminum to spruce things up a bit. YMMV.

Yeah , these are good shots of both cars above. Today I was on a PCA tour and saw a few S models with rings on white guages and they really don't look as good (in my personal opinion) as the rings on blace guages. So, I guess I gotta do it.
Thanks guys for making me poorer!!!!!!! LOL

Well dang I was on that tour too! If I had only known I would have brought them. I had the 99 Box with the carbon fiber side intakes. That was a good tour. We took the long way home too.

I saw that Boxster (recall the carbon intakes) but just while walking by.....don't think I got a good look at it. How come you aren't using the guages and rings yourself?

It was a great tour. Sorry I don't know who you are for sure. Are you the guy that has a plan to by an '09 or something like that? You were also on the VT tour a few weeks ago??
