late gauge face graphic files?
hey guys, does anyone happen to have the graphics for printing the late gauge faces?
looking to freshen mine up since I have the gauges apart, maybe make some custom electroluminescent/backlit or some custom "carrera" font.

That's the only thing I can find to update them, I know on the later dash you can get the outer chrome rings but I can't seem to find them for the early dash. You may be able to find some small decals with a Porsche style font too. As for creating your own dials I'm not aware of any graphic files to do that if thats what your saying maybe some others on here got em. You could use any of the dials as a template though and and create your own style in Adobe Illustrator or photoshop, print them on quality lamented sticker paper and do it that way

I know you can get graphic overlay stickers for newer cars, I can't seem to find anyone selling any for an early 944.
This website in Germany can make new actual faces (not overlays) for you and you can customize all the colors and even the font I believe but is more expensive.
Here is another place you can buy new faces made to order with selected colors, AutoAtlanta

You can try asking the Turbo forum, I seem to recall somebody asking a similar question and/or making a set themselves.
Or there are several aftermarket sources that can do it, such as Hollywood Speedo or Palo Alto Speedo.
Otherwise you would be spending a lot of time and need specialized printers to do it properly.

Yeah not too much of a fan of the white either but some colored cars and interior can pull it off decently.
You would have to contact either North Hollywood Speedo or Palo Alto Speedo because they both pulled the option to select a '944' on their websites. On the Hollywood website you can only select a '356, 911, 914 and 928.' And on the Palo Alto webpage the '928 and 944' is the only link that is deactivated. I'm sure they would still be able to create some,I would email them or call them if your interested
