Default Standard of Red guages?

My build date is comming up and I need to make a decision on Red or Standard guages. Does anyone know have a photo of the red guages? I'm concerened they might be hard to read? Comments?

My order:

White
Bi-zenon
Fire extinguisher
Alum. dead pedal
Red belts
Red dials?

Thanks,
Craig

Craig, it's my experience that the red dials are extremely difficult to see, plus they appear to have a slight variance from true Guards Red, could be the tint of the glass covers. Also, the dead pedal option is possibly the biggest rip off from Porsche. For $250 you can get a full (4pc) pedal set of high quality billet stock from a number of suppliers. Best of luck with the car!

You guys aren't going fast enoughif you have time to look at your gauges ....use your ears and just remember where the oil pressure gauge is....the rest is fluff.(I'm getting red too, in the GT3)
