I am about to spec out my GT3. I've always liked white gauges. To me they are easier to read and look better. However, I don't recall ever seeing a GT3 with white gauges.

Any thoughts?

That's how I'd spec mine.

Less = more IMO.

But my car came only with red gauges and seat belts.

But... Now when I get in one without gauges, it looks a little bland to me and less easy to read. I got used to the red. I still would not spend the money for it though...

Red seat belts are terrible to keep clean!

I had white gauges on my Mk-I GT3. Adds a touch of brightness to the otherwise dark interior. I'd get them again.

I have them-they're great

But your avatar shows otherwise. Whats up with that?

Look great in daylight, took a little getting used to at night. Took this on delivery day.
Spec'd them on the new car also, Carrara white car and gauges.

Looks great. I've always liked the look of white gauges better. I never saw them on a GT3 so wondered if it went against the racing feel of the GT3. After seeing your picture, I'm going to order it

Did you get the Spot Chrono option. If so is that white as well. I'm leaning against it. Cleaner look and it doesn't add much.

No reason at all to get a Sport Chrono on a manual transmission car. Skip it.

There are no reasons to get Sport Chrono on a GT3, however, there are major reasons to get it on a manual turbo. There are even some good reasons to get it on a manual Carrera.

Anyway, back to the original concerns over white guages . I prefer the black gauges and would even spec a C2S with them as they come with white as standard. At least the white guages are a no cost option. Either looks good, just personal preference.

Good luck with the new car. Glad to help.
Good advice to skip the sport chrono, not very useful on a GT3.

I wish! According to my order guide and the online configurator, they are an $860 option.

You're right, I just saw that! I know black guages are a no cost option on a Carrera and thought white on a GT3 was no cost as well. I say no way for $860.

Trakcar...could I trouble you to post a photo of your Red guages and belts? I am hmming and hawing on that very option - totals $ 2555.00! when you put the Chrono, Speedometer and belt together costs together..

Takes forever to download, but there a few good interior pics there.

The seatbelts look like crap from driving with the windows open in the rain.
IMHO, I would not do either for the $$ and the purist aspect, but if you like the dials, they may even be a bit clearer to read than the stock grey and they do dress it up a bit.
