Finally, the new trim rings have arrived (996, Turbo, etc, and Box, no 997 yet).

For those who have been following the saga, the oem supplier to Porsche has made a slight change to the finish, and they are absolutely STUNNING and PERFECT with no flaws! Really amazing match for the interior trim, and a nice touch. Get 'em while they're here now, they won't last long, and now they cost more to us, but we're holding existing price in check for a while.

The finish has changed ever so slightly to mimic what you see on the aluminum shifter/handbrake package. Rather than brushed aluminum in appearance, it is very subtle, but uniform throughout the finish of the ring.

 

they are no longer paper thin crap tin Eric ?

 

My girlfriend just bought those for me. The problem is finding the right glue to attach them. The runny super glue they provide makes a total mess. I was lucky to get the small amount off of the first guage I tried. I need a glue with thicker consistency. I tried contact cement as well with no luck.

 

Clear RTV! Use tape to hold them in place while the RTV cures.

 

Try a hobby shop. They have super thick CA (super glue). Be very careful though. The fumes will cause permanent fogging on clear plastic. I would suggest using thin 2 sided scotch tape.

 

Eric,
If we order from the site now will we get the new type?
Thanks
Ron

 

All,

Try using a silicone caulk for attaching as it will allow removal down the road if needed without marking the bezels. A small bead of clear should do the trick on each ring.

Liquid Nails...

 

I used epoxy on one car (they ain't coming off without some marks) and two sided tape on the other. I prefer the two sided tape. Get thee hence to a hobby shop and buy some thickish two sided tape. Works great and will come off some day when the fad changes back to bell-bottom pants or some such.

 

Great ideas. Where would we be without the internet. Thanks.

 

I uses the two way tape and it works fine and is removable.

 

Order anytime, all inventory is new.

GE Silicone works well, as does 3M double sided thin tape.
