986 vs 996 Cluster Surround
I recently installed a 996 cluster in my 2000 Boxster. I initially modified my Boxster cluster surround to accommodate the two additional gauges. My workmanship modifying the surround was good, but not perfect:
I recently found a good deal on a leather 996 cluster surround that I was able to refurbish and install:
I find that the 996 cluster fits around the gauges better than the 986 cluster and I think I will be able to use some silver trim rings with it. (The voltmeter and the oil pressure gauge don't protrude far enough from the 986 surround to have the trim rings attached to them.) The stitched leather trim is also nice.
However, I miss the "bridge" over the gauges that was exclusive to the Boxster.
Should I keep the 996 surround or go back the 986 surround?
