I agree with this. This would be a great option for those with the chrono/tach ring.

Pricing will be competitive, but at a premium due to OEM level of fit and finish.
How is the color applied to the current prototypes? Painted on? Any expectations on the durability of the finish?

We are testing now. These are professionally painted by a company that specializes in small parts painting. We also have some prototypes that will go to a local high-end paintball marker anodizer. Durability should be extremely high. If we can get the color rendering with anodizing, we may go that route for ultimate durability.

Totally agree!! But our car is Python green, with lizard stitching. The lizard green tach was the only option and that much color, that many shades off just didn’t look right to us. So unfortunately spec’d the regular dial

Agate Grey aluminum dial to match the wing mirrors might be an interesting upgrade for Carrara T folks like myself who don't want a bright color. I do think the OEM mode dial feels a bit cheap, but my W205 C63 had one that felt even cheaper so I'm not dying to upgrade it. For a good price I would consider it though.

Personally, I think this kind of stuff is cheesy. Especially if it doesn't come from factory. It's a 911, not a Civic. But that's just me. Whatever floats people's boats and if you can sell them. Good for you! Sincerely.

Thats what I’d like to see as well. Anodized aluminum sounds like it would look and feel better than the stock plastic too.

I love this kind of stuff, but I would be a little concerned about how hot it would get in the summer.

Cayenne. OEM. Your outer dial is very loud.
