Personally love yellow with a different interior. Consider white dials, perhaps red. My opinion only.

A whopping £2k. If it's any consolation, they use a much thicker thread and the work(wo)manship is amazing. For me, the balance was between a carbon roof and deviated stitching. I think I made the right choice.

Default Odd eye combo of Tach and SC?

In figuring out the interior choices of GT Silver exterior and Black/Bordeaux Red interior 992,
I am wondering what would be the best (?) color combination of Tachometer and Sport Chrono.

For starter, I am hugely into coloring Lizard green at least for Sport Chrono dial as it reminds me green light on the road.

Now then the question is which color should I pick for Tachometer dial.

1. SC Green - Tach Green combo seems too much.

2. How about Green SC with Red Tach?
In fact, this is the most likely combo I would pick as Guards Red color in Tach dial seems just perfectly make sense.
But, then again, the Green-Red combo just reminds Christmas year around. haha.

If not, perhaps go with Black (no color option for Tach) or White dialed Tach to match with Green SC?

The most likely choice of mine (Red Tach and Green SC)

It would actually be more interesting to instead of having 6 or whatever "ambient" lights we could change the tach/sport chrono colors... In my case given the GR and deviated red stitching I left the belts and dials black; thought it would be overkill. As to the belts, given my lifestyle they'd get dirty in no time.

Also you might consider the Lloyd floor mats with a logo (Porsche / Carrera / Turbo / whatever you choose) and edge binding in a color matching the tach and/or chrono dials. HUGE upgrade (quality and look) over the crap factory floor mats. I chose black mats w/ red logo & edge binding - looks great!
I'm stuck between going with white or Guard's red. What color is the illumination at night if one options white or red on the tach?

I think it’s possible to have too much yellow. And I’m a yellow fan who is hoping to get a RY car.

For me, I’d just do RY belts. I think the tach/chrono combo in RY would be too over the top.

I’d do yellow stitching if it wasn’t so damn $$.

I have a red tach and chrono. At night you don't see the color at all. It's just white numbers illuminated against black.

If the "Heritage" Tachometer Face had been available as a stand alone option, I'd have checked that box in a heartbeat.

Hi, anyone with white tach can confirm if they can see the illuminated numbers against the white background during the day, are the RPM numbers washed out against the white tach?
Thank you

Have tried numerous times to post a white tach photo at night and can't get it to upload.... keep getting error messages from rennlist. Gets to 50% and then aborts. Anyone have advice?
