Ok I'll be the guy that throws a wrench in the discussion. Have you considered Bordeaux dials? You can get Bordeaux belts to match. I couldn't do Bordeaux dials in GTS (only guards red available) which made me change exterior to Agate and go with black/Bordeaux Interior.

I came up with this very idea last night when I was messing with the configurator until past midnight. I do not believe the dealer has belt or face samples but I’m going to check today. I’ve been considering red belts but I do not think Guards Red belts are right for Carmine as they are very bright. Bordeaux Red dials look good on the configurator but need to see them in person. I *think* the dealer has a used Cayman with a Bordeaux Red SC dial and am going to investigate that today. Bordeaux Red is more subdued and may be just fine with Carmine for both gauges and belts.

That looks really sharp and I have toyed with painted vents on the configurator, although I did not do the leather trim (didn’t think of it). For some colors the painted air vents are too much but I think for Carmine it looks really good and helps to break up the monotony of an all black interior. Your interior looks great IMO and I do like the all black gauges.

Sorry about the reflections from the steering wheel but this will give you an idea. Personally I don't think I would have ordered the car this way but I'm OK with it.

If you do order be sure to get 'Painted Vent Trim' as you can also get 'Painted Vents' or both actually if you want.-Richard

Bummer they don't offer that option in the new GT3.

On my 997 I had white dials and loved them. On my 991 I ordered all black dials primarily because of the LCD screen, which is more often than not, black. I prefer all my dials similar in background.

Silly perhaps, but I am super happy with the all black.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I have decided to go with black Instrument gauges, and the SC clock in white. Have one last thing to tidy up and that is seat belts. A new thread on the way!

You might want to consider matching up your SC face color and your seat belt color. I have black interior with black gauges, but GR SC face and GR seat belts and really like the way the reds add a little pop as well as work together color wise.

I actually like the silver tach more than anything on these. However, on a red car with black interior I'd probably go and do red dials...for black cars with red stitch or red cars with black interior and red stitch I like the extra pop.

Great idea. I will play with that in the configurator. Thx

flickroll

Good idea and I’ll play with this too. Thank you

Mine too!

That does look nice.

Dials should match your tires..... or to paraphrase Henry Ford, "Any color as long as it's black."


Base only comes with black dials, no silver tach.
