Anyone else have Red Instrument Dials and think they suck? I can't read any of the numbers in the daylight. Luckily, I don't really need to read the numbers much.

FWIW, a friend ordered his Guards Red Cayman w/"Guards Red" gauges. They are extremely difficult to read in daylight & the color isn't even remotely close to Guards Red. They certainly don't match the exterior. After complaints to the dealer who went to bat for him w/PCNA, they are being replaced w/the standard gauges & he's getting a refund of the option price he paid.
If you were unable to preview them & (quite reasonably) assumed them to be both legible & the correct color as advertised, you should get the same result.

Any thoughts for a guy on the fence between a Boxster 40th Ann and a CaymanS? I drive my 02 C4s mostly on weekends but would make the CS or Boxster my daily.
Thanks,

In my personal opinion (which feel free to say "it sucks") I think all gauges should be black face with white markings. Best for visibility in all conditions. I hate white faced, gray faced, or any othe facing color. Markings look best in white I think as well.
I simply would not buy a car if I had to take white faced or any other non-black (or very close to black) gauge coloring.
But that is just me. BTW... many early 944's came with black faces and yellow markings. Yuck!
