Default Red GT3 Insturment Dials

Does anyone know if they exist.

I have seen red dials for regular 996's in the Porsche website Sample Customization.

Is it listed in the October order guide?

Also looking for the GT3 script on the rear centre console.
It was on the original order guide, but it was not available when I ordered the are.

Definitely available. Back in August I drove a beautiful GT3 at the PDE in Brimingham.

Black on black, small carbon package, carbon shifter, red seatbelts, red gauges.

Very nicely done.

The colours are funny in this pic, but the gauges are most definitely red!

I'm not sure I would pay $1175 for that.

Those look great.
But my dealer can't get them for me.
There is no part # in the parts system yet.
You can only order them with a new car, which pisses me off cause I wanted them when I ordered mine but they weren't available.
Does anyone know whre I can get them?
I need them in kilometres.

I was also looking for the GT3 script on the rear centre console.
Also was not available when I ordered my car.

It's a real **** off.
Anyone have any suggestions?

We've tried getting the rear center consol storage bin lid with various scripts (Porsche crsst, Boxster, etc) but so far, it seems like it's only available from factory.

I just checked the PET system here in our parts department, and your dealer is right. Right now it looks like we can only order the black faced GT3 gauges.

I guess it's just a matter of waiting for them to become available.

Red dials need white needles, otherwise poor contrast and harder to read IMO.

You might check with Gert at Carnewal to see if he could get these for you.

PCNA had a sales competition in 03 called the Spring Challenge. It was based on CSI scores and actual delivery numbers vs sales forecasts. My dealership won our region, so we got to head to Birmingham to drive the GT3, GT2, C4S Cab, Turbo Cab, and Cayenne Turbo on the track. We also had a couple of hours of offroad fun in the Cayenne S, skidpad fun with a Carrera, and autocrossing with Boxster S. Needless to say, it was a good time.

The pics don't do it justice. It was actually quite easy to read, although I think white needles would be easier.

Red guages are available from Gert. He e-mailed me a while back with prices for Red Guages for my C4S.

Hey Nacelle,
Im in Toronto too.
I emailed Gert 3 weeks ago, before I started this thread.
He said the GT3 red dials aren't available.
Then someone on this post obviously proved otherwise.
I've since emailed Gert but have not heard back.

So who knows.
They may be available for a C4s but not a GT3.
I need it in Km not miles. That could be the problem. Since so far Ive only seen it in miles.

If you hear from him, let us know.

Thanks.
