If so, what would be involved? If I hypothetically wanted to change from red to regular face, what would the parts cost be? Anybody might be interested in a swap?

You already found the car Charlie? I would guess you could do a swap + cash since the red ones were an extra cost option

P.J.S.

couple of NW locals have used this company with great success... I have not, just know of them.

Found a potential car. Gauge faces one of the things I don't like about it. It's overpriced by about $12k (and they just came down $10k).

I wouldn't go changing the gauge faces, it will detract the car's value. Plus, they are a bitch on a 997.

You might get used to them and begin to like them later on. If the rest of the GT3 options are acceptable to you, just take it and deal with it later.

The color's pretty damn hideous. I'll keep the originals, presumably one can buy a set of the original gray faces?

I'll probably take it if the price is right and I enjoy my day with a GT3 on Thursday. Just curious as to how I would go about changing it.

manny_g

keep the faces as they are...its not a diy job if you have not done it before. the end result can even look worse..

I don't mean painting them. I mean replacing with stock, gray GT3 faces. I should give North Hollywood Speedo a call, see if they do the new stuff.

let me know, I have been thinking about changing my gauge face to speed yellow

WHB Porsche

105 90 is the CDN version. 997 641 103 90 is the USA.

That sounds expensive. But it's also the smart way to do it.

Larry Cable

Oops sorry ... missed that in PET ...

I have an e-mail into PalSpeedo regarding a color change for the GT3 inst cluster, I will post their response to the list when/if I get it.

Are you looking at the with the red faces/stitching etc?

p.s I'd part-ex my cobalt blue for an orange RS ...

WHB Porsche

Well I don't have an Orange RS, but I'd buy your car in a heartbeat and you can put the money towards the RS!

Yea, I'm reconsidering the car with stitching, belts, and gauges. I would change several things, ie - gauges to stock gray, belts black, shifter and handbrake straight alcantara (don't like the carbon with the carbon console) and silver wheels.
