Question: Would it be fairly easy to change the needles using basically the same instructions you have provided? I ordered the red gauges as a factory option (incoming 718 GT4). Unfortunately, when considering the option I was apparently looking at a photo of the Spyder, not the GT4 and didn't realize the that while the needles in the Spyder are white (which contrasts nicely with red), the needles in the GT4 are orange and I am concerned about readability.

I've just found another resource for gauge faces https://www.heiler-tachodesign.de/Sp...an-718-300-Kmh.
They are inexpensive and have color options that Suncoast doesn't appear to.

Yes you can...the question is if you will be able to source just the needles.

Nice find...specially the color range but be careful as I have seen in the past some gauges that the quality and materials are not up there with the OEMs.
The FVD ones are done by the same OEM supplier and details are perfect and at night the light exactly like the stock ones.
Do some research on these to see if anyone has used them before.
