I really dislike my black gauge faces, particularly in the bright daylight. I find it hard to see the RPMs unless I'm looking down very intently at it and that requires taking my eyes too much off the road. I would love white (first choice) or red (second choice). I see that Suncoast sells replacement gauge faces but I know these are not OEM - I believe they are overlays. I would love to see anyone's aftermarket gauge faces installed. Can you tell they're aftermarket or do they blend in perfectly?

 

Interested in this as well. I’d like a lighter color, white, silver, etc center tachometer.

 

Looks like some info here:

You’ve seen white gauges, right? I had them on my 981S and the needles were impossible to see in daylight, in particular the rev counter. Also, all the telltales appear black (temp, etc). At night they were fine.

 

I changed the gauge faces on my 2011 Cayman S. It was originally an American car, but I'm in Canada so I wanted the European spec gauges. It was a fairly easy swap. You have to be patient and work a bit like a surgeon when it comes to removing the needles and plastic bushings that hold the gauge face down. I bought my new face from Heiler Tachodesign in Germany. You can customize your new face in almost every way imaginable. Price is very reasonable too, and quality is top notch.

I love my black gauges. the worst are the yellow and red gauges 🤢

 

I too love my black gauges. The thing that bothers me about all of the colored gauge faces is the MFD display stays black and the rest don't match. At least with the black all four match.

 

Actually love the grey tach on my stock c2s. I can see the red needle very well for the most part.

the white gauges show too much of the cutouts. Too busy

 

I wasn't looking for white faces but ended up with them. Now, I don't think I would want to be without.

 

I love my racing yellow gauges. They were one of many reasons why I didn’t want a 992. To each his own.

 

Auto Amateur sells colored faces.

 

I opted for white on mine. I like how they look. Would order car with them again.

 

Jack F, did you do the gauge face install your self? Was it difficult?

 

Ordered car with white gauges. Took the easy way out, I guess.

 

i beta its a PITA

 

blk is all right, silver/gray one is the worst
