Default New gauge faces installed

Dimitri from gaugefaces.com was an absolute pleasure to work with. I’ve been sprucing up my interior and decided to take on this project. It was a little nerve wracking, but easy enough. We decided on a bespoke set based on the 911r, but in a beautiful icy blue color. I think they add a nice little custom touch and pretty simple to revert.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing and glad they don’t abuse the “high end” car tax policy. How difficult was install?

Its wasn't too difficult. Just take your time and be very gentle with the needles. The hardest part is getting them to line back up. It takes a bit of trial and error.

Just take your time and DO NOT use a pry tool on the needles as seen in some YouTube videos. Just use your fingers and some muscle. Take lots of pictures where the needles rest before disassembly so you can line them back up. It took me a couple tries to get everything perfect. Also be sure to label where the screws go on the back of the cluster. I believe there are 3 that are different sizes.
