or maybe those people want the "real" thing...

 

any site where to get the faces that say turbo on them?

 

I'll pick up where BruceM left off. MeisterGauge Faces will do whatever custom combination you like by using original Porsche fonts. So, they are as "real" as all other aftermarket or as close to OEM as you like. He has done work on show cars and the finished product is very high quality. I believe the cost is @$300. He made a set of aluminum look ones for me. Very satisfied.

 

Bruce, you should post a photo of your cool gauges as an example of Meister's work. I copied yours and ordered the same set-up. Unfortunately, the wifey threw them in the garbage before I could get them installed.

 

you can go and spend $3k for the "real" thing, and once it is installed only you know

here is a couple shots of mine

Quality is very, very good! You can go the FVD route or choose your own color and style and go the other

I know this is an old thread, but are there any instructions on how to take off the cluster bezel?

 

This should be useful to you..

when i bought my 996tt, it had red gauge faces but they quickly started bubbling up in the heat. further, the red was very hard to see at times due to lack of contrast. i found the link posted just above to remove the gauge cluster (easy - takes few mins) and then was able to peel the decals off while keeping the dials in place (used x-acto knife to help - very carefully). when i peeled mine off, i discovered very nice white faces with the tach in a light grey. bummer that it does not have the turbo-s script though. oh well - i can live with it.

if you get different gauge faces, spend the extra money and get real faces and not use the decal approach to save a few $$$.

note: when removing the cluster - put down a towel over the dash under the cluster so you don't knick up the leather - its really easy to scratch it with all the sharp connector bits. be careful.
