I received the aluminum gauge rings yesterday morning.

I fit them in my P-car and here is the result (not a very good pic :P )

I think that they have enough quality to cost not more than 47,00 $

(For those who have interest, I purchased this kit in Auto_innovation@yahoo.com)

This is the ebay link:

OEM rings are very expensive IMO, and I prefer to spend my money in other important things.

great find! i've bought the other aluminum type gauge rings for my last 3 996's and each time shook my head in disbelief of the $140 price tag. i don't think even makes aluminum gauge rings?? right? but these companies are trying to fit in with porsche and charge outlandish prices just because it's a Porsche.

out of curiousity, how are these in comparison to the $140 variant? do these fit well and don't have any straggling pieces of plastic where the cut was not good? and go on with epoxy resin?

i need to buy some rings for my dad's new ride - fathers day gift that he has deserved for the last 30+ yrs :D

This does seem like a great deal and per your experience the quality seems more than adequate. Whe nI try and open the link on ebay for the item, it states the seller has discontinued the item?? Did you purchase thru ebay or direct from auto innovations??

They told that Paypal is only accepted in US and I had to do a Money order from Spain thru Western Union
