White instrument gauge overlay.

Have any of you tried the gauge overlay products out there? Pelican parts has them for $100. they also have a different type for $240.

I would like to have white gauges but I want it to look like OEM.

Scott@Radar-Mirror.com is infamous around these parts

Don't own a Porsche but my setup may work. I own a E46 M3 with a HPF kit, hated the gauges on the steering column so I stuck mine inside my rear view mirror.

Gauge overlays simply change the color of the gauge faces - they do not add any functionality. That said - I'd be interested in how to go about adding some readouts to a rear view as well. Something like say a shiftlight could go up there easily - and annoy folks behind me too!

Anyway, is of interest although perhaps not great for this thread...
