It would be best to buy gauges that are from Germany.
There are some replicas that are not worth the trouble
of changing out. See FVD (board sponsor) they have some
close out pricing on gauges now. Installation is a delicate matter,
removal and calibration of gauge hands is the biggest challenge.
Porsche does not sell parts for the cluster, only complete
cluster assembly (if something is broken) Good Luck

Get some very good quality faces. I bought some from NR and they look nice but the blinker and cruise control lights barely shine through the faces. If definitely looks aftermarket. The FVD gauges look better from what I can tell from the website. I guess you get what you pay for as far as gauge faces go. Also be very careful with the installation. I followed the directions very carefully and took my time and now my tach and speedo don't work. I would just send my cluster to FVD if I could do it all over again. Now I have to get mine repaired.

I just bought the yellow tach only "Gemballa"
for $45.00 from FVD. Now that is clearance pricing.

a few years ago I had purchased a set of gauges from a company in Germany.....they were pretty cheap and the quality was great.....they replaced the original gauge faces perfectly....I think I had paid a couple of hundred bucks for them......here's a link to the company.......
