Red faced gauges
Do any of you have the red faced gauges in a car in your possession? I am wondering how you like them in real life. Are they clearly and comfortably usable in all lighting situations?
I do and I love it. I was initially skeptical about them. I've carrera white in the past and I've seen yellow. Red is better.

Perfect I ordered them. Metallic white.

I have red gauges on my GT3 RS. I did not order them this time on my black/red 991 GT3. They look cool, but the black/grey background makes the numbers/writing stand out better. In full sunlight, sometime the numbers aren't as clear with the red dials. Don't get me wrong, it's not like you can't read anything, but the contrast is much better on the regular dials.

Here is a good pic from a Rennlister's post a couple months back.
I think the gauge needles on the GT3 are right (yellow) while on the non GT variant the needles are orange/red and not as good of a contrast. Don't know why Porsche does this.

Haha, they screwed up and put the sport chrono on the wrong side in this car!
But joking aside, I have been to the dealer to see these enough times, and decided I really like the stock black and grey ones. While on a platinum stitched interior I like the white gauges, due to the fact that they complement the stitching well, or the red stitched cars the red gauges go a step too far into boy racer land for my taste. It has helped me so much to take trips to the dealer to see different options as what I see in pics just doesn't give the same effect.
Before deciding, try to see things live if at all possible
