Default White Face Gauge ID Help

Anyone know what these gauges are on this 993? They are not stock correct?

Could be factory white painted gauges. Porsche would paint the faces almost any color. My car was ordered with the X34 option, which was gauges painted to match my Glacier White C4S and the gauge bezels were wrapped in Classic Gray leather to match my interior. Check the option code sticker on the car to see if they were factory original.

Wouldn't they have the cutouts for warning lights unlike these have?

Agree that they look aftermarket to me as they don't have the cutouts. On my factory silver gauges, they also have VDO stamped on the lower part of the gauge face.

Didn't look closely enough - yes I agree that they should have cut outs. Thought the question was more about color since it is rare to see colors other than the silver face option.

My car came with the painted silver dials - when I got the car, it was really the only option I didn't like, would have preferred the classic gauges. Go figure.

I've grown to like them with the matching hand brake and shift **** over time, though I still find them kind of hard to read.

I just installed whit face dials in my car. They are made by FVD...look them up, great to deal with, I think Rhonda handles them. I had Palo Alto install them and new glass and bezels. I also installed LED dimmable bulbs because I have a Porsche Classic wifi stereo so I wanted to match those color lights. The white faces are awesome in the day and light up and look black at night with easy to read numbers. Palto said they are some of the best on the market.
