I think I will stick with my white gauges (wanted black). I don't mess around with electrics unless there is no other choice.

Alterations like these can always lead to niggly little electrical problems.

Yep, that's a sharp look, Jay. Really nice!

I would not paint old dials yellow. At night
the dials change color to black. Daylight will bring them
back to yellow.
All 997 dials do this.

There is a shop in the LA area known as Hollywood Instruments - I think. They have had a good reputation. Don't know their number but can't be too tough to Google.

I love the look of your Yellow Instrument Panel.

Can you provide the Specs on the Pedals & Footrest?

Hello guys, some thread digging 😁

Do you know if a dual color gauge would be findable?

The idea would be to have a Ferrari-ish cluster look with the center gauge beeing yellow and all 4 side cluster beeing black.

Thanks.

These guys will do it - different color on the tach all fully customizable - and for around 120 euro....

No association or direct experience, I found their website while browsing some of the European forums

Thanks TJ ;-)

If you do it post a pic.... I'm tempted, might be a good winter project.

I'm still debating this with myself...

the Gauge face you sent are pretty cheap but I am scared to open the cluster and break something !

I did it once on a motorbike with success but the price of a repair on the Porsche cluster if something goes wrong scares me a lot ;-)

It seems the needles can be a pain to remove and also you have to be sure to put them back on good position

Tj40

Yes, I understand, there are a couple of DIY's around but the worry would be breaking the existing needles or the spindle they are on.
Nothing worse than breaking something that was just fine before you started!!

Not excactly...

Mine for example is a mk2 pdk so cluster is not good also I prefer to have only the center gauge in Yellow ;-)

I think sometimes I will just have to get my guts and to the swap

Yellow gauges are such an acquired taste, that probably youre best bet is to 1) find a used set online 2) sell yours back online. The delta will be less than buying those repaint options for silly prices.

Although IM sure that the moment you sell the car, youll get the typical "I want the original spec gauges" complaint, because thats typical Porsche buyer. And you're in the enthusiast market with this car now, so youll have to play be its bizzare rules. Personally would consider trading the car if you want to do mods like this.
