Sent you a PM!

Thanks!

I am very sorry to those who wanted my yellow gauge faces and messaged me, they will be sent out to a member today who was the first to message me. Just trying to be fair, I hope you understand.

If anyone else has yellow they would like to give away, or sell, I'd be interested. I only really want just the tach... My seat belts are yellow as well as the steering wheel center line... plus I have PCCB

Thank you!

You and me are in the same boat, if so, please wait and buy this instead.

Oh man, he's finally got a site up. For that price, I would definitely test out a lizard green option to see the quality.

Yeah, I'm getting a red. As long as it's OEM grade quality, I'll be happy.

In receiving the black dials from Rgwirtz's most gracious generosity, I realize now that they are mostly - but not fully - correct for my 2018 GT3 (my speedo reads to 250MPH, these go to 220MPH, plus a few icon/symbol differences). So, I'm happy to pass them on for what he charged me - just kidding - FREE, FREE, FREE. As another posted noted, PORSCHE does not sell the dials...just a new instrument cluster, but my very experience and talented dealer shop foreman assures me that changing the dial faces is not only much less expensive than buying a new cluster, but reprogramming same can be a challenge - more so with a PDK car, but mine is a manual. Anyway, I'm having NO luck in finding a supplier, or should I say, a supplier that will answer their phone. Have tried GMP in North Carolina, and FVD in Florida. Suncoast took my information/request, but have not heard back from them. Someone else recommended TechArt....their website, at least for me is anything but user friendly and I moved on...was really hoping the GMP or FVD would be it. So, I'm standing by and will happily send my 'white' dials to someone as quickly as I can locate the stock black faces. Any positive leads would be most appreciated. Thank you

Sorry the dials weren’t exactly correct but they were certainly good value!

Can you highlight the differences since you have both?

FVD is German BTW. If you like, please send an email to them directly, they are highly responsive Pasqual.Kaufmann@fvd.net and was very patient in working through my request. Just give as many details as possible along with your expectations. He would also like pictures of your instrument cluster, lit and unlit to make sure they create exactly what you need.

UPDATE - the FVD representative did return my call and she was very helpful. With the sport chrono dial added, I'm looking at about $1100 and a 3-4 week wait. I sent her photos of the standard black dials as she said her research showed all GT3s (with black dials) to have a gray dial on the tachometer...just not the case. It's interesting too that FVD charges about a $200.00 premium to make the black dials with the correct orange ticks...otherwise they apparently come with white ticks. Who knew this would be such a hassle.
