Question what color guage rings ? yellow or alum.

I have a speed yellow 996 cab. The interior has white guages, the alum. shifter and hand brake with porsche on it in black. I plan on getting a steering wheel (sim. to gemballa) with the alum. on the top.

I would like to add a litter color to the dash, should I get yellow or alum. ??? any thoughts would be appreciated.

Silver rings, but if you want to make a real difference, get the yellow dials instead of your white ones!

Silver rings. If you want yellow, paint your center console yellow. That would be sick.

I've got yellow dial faces on my SY 2000 Cab. Love 'em! Got them from FVD, and they're great quality.

Well after DJ posted his comment, I e-mailed the company that gave me a quote, and stated that I wanted them to start the process. However they responded that they are no longer painting rings due to the time involved, etc.

Therefore I am in the market for the alum. rings.

My wife purchased a set of Alum. Trim Rings from Eric "the plug guy" for my B-day. After she gave them to me, she stated that Eric was very helpful and helped her with the purchase. Thanks Eric.

I also installed Alum. Pedals to complete the look.
