Thanks FI-GT, I am pretty happy with how it turned out, even the gauges, my wife thought they were to noticeable but like all of the options she said, 'hey it's your car so get what you want...'
Even I was a bit worried it would be too much yellow, but if the reaction at coffee yesterday was any measure it was all positive. Tough picture to get, but this is what I have:
Congrats on your car. Looks great. I love seeing the yellow accents you picked as I think it works well and ties in with your pccb. The yellow gauges are particularly nice as they're black on yellow. I've seen some posts of red gauges and I believe they're yellow or orange on the red face. I would have preferred black or white on red.
One thing I just noticed for those of us that have selected coloured gauges is that all of the warning and indicator lights on the dash are visible when they're not lit, so the gauge looks pretty busy. If you stick with the standard black (Spyder) and grey (GT4), it blends in and doesn't show up (mostly on the GT4) unless the light underneath is on.

Oh. I noticed them too but thought maybe WC had the car on acc mode and that's why they were showing.

It's the main reason I stuck with standard grey dial on my build. I was realy contemplating white dials.

Are you doing a full wrap or just the front end?
For Xpel Ultimate wrap, Clearplex on the windshield as well. Yes, I think the accents worked out well including the gauges!

As @Illusive991 mentions the warning and indicator icons are very visible on light gauge faces as they essentially show as black, more so during the day.
West Coast congrat's! So worth the wait. Your color choices are spot on. We'll have to meet in Bellingham once I have a chance to order mine.
Thanks, it is nice to finally see it all come together in the real world, the configurator tries but doesn't quite get it right!
We 'normally' to pass through your area a few times a year, sometimes through Pt. Angeles and other times through Blain and down, unfortunately this year is a bit different! So perhaps at some time in the future when things settle down.
Normally we stop in somewhere in the Seattle area, usually have a list of things I want from Griots!

This is why I like to stick with standard black gauges. The warnings are only visible when lit.
So we started introductions on Sunday morning at our Porsche Club's Cars and Coffee, we had my Spyder and 2 GT'4 in attendance, a cool chance for the gang to poke about and ask questions, interest was high and there were lots of compliments. Afterwards although we had a chance to go on a spirited drive we opted for a more leisurely pace through town down to Beach drive so we could take a few shots near the Oak Bay Marina and Royal Victoria Yacht Club before returning home. Today I will be dropping of the Spyder for a complete Xpel wrap and Clearplex on the windshield, then she will be ready to hit the open road! ]
Congrats! Looks fantastic, especially like the yellow dials with chalk!
