Instrument cluster gauge faces for Porsche 911 996 (Gen 1&2) – Black
Return to the classic OEM-style black look
If you suffer from age-related issues such as delamination, bubbling, peeling, fading, scratches, or discoloration, replacing the dials is a clean way to restore the instrument cluster.
Black gauge faces are also a great solution for cars imported between the UK, US, or Europe. A new set allows you to switch the units between metric and imperial, making the car much easier and safer to drive locally. This swap provides a perfect, OEM-quality conversion that feels native to the car – much better than doing mental math at speed.
Printed directly on high quality dense plastic with UV printing technology for deep and rich colors. Laser engraving preserves details sharp and crisp. Anti-glint finish makes the surface matt and smooth. The gauge face is pre-cut with precision laser and ready to be installed. All warning lights and icons are the same as original and match OEM placement.
The material is resistant to heat, bright sun or moisture.
