Custom color guage faces

[yasir]

Thinking about getting my guage faces painted : Yellow" by NHW speedometer people and was wondering if any one has already done it ? I drive a Red/black C2 Turbo and i am pretty sure it would look nice,any ideas ?
Thanks, Yasir

Where is the love!?

Yasir, make your car the way you like it. Purist will damn you, bastard 911s will praise you.

Just a thought...I can just give you my opinion, do with it what you like. I work in the interior design business and we like to use the word continuity, keeping the same theme through an area. I think that the Yellow word distract from the overall look of the car, a better look might be to carry the exterior red into the gauges. Good luck with your choice.

No disrespect intended. Just my personal view. It just reminds me of the 80s.

Just curious, why paint them when you can replace them with color face? is it cheaper? Im with PorscheGuy79 maybe red would look better although I prefer the stock look.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this guy had yellow gauge faces in his car.

I would go white if you want a different color. And get the bulbs upgraded while you're in there.

This is an area that's hard to improve the look of, if not impossible on a 911/930.
I think a numbered temp gauge is an improvement, but that's something that they did stock on some models.

I had NH speedo add a temp gauge to mine a few years ago and just clean up all the gauges, and that was a big improvement.

North Hollywood Speedo now does the gages With some really bright bluish white LED lights. I saw them on a car and it looks great. It would be the only thing that I would concider.

Interesting about the lights. I'm curious if anyone here has done them, and what they look like? I was driving home with my Wife Saturday nights, and really noticed how sorry the illumination is.

Dave from TRE on his 914-6 Twin plug monster street/track car. They look cool!

Okay I cant see what guages you are talking about on the other furom but due to the subject matter I know what you are talking about. The Ferrari 360 CS is equipped with very light yellow, almost the same color of receipt paper, tachometer. The rest of the guages are black, I believe, but I know what you are talking about. Its a good look on that car, but im not sure the look of all the guages being bright yellow, oddly enough Ferrari yellow. Just think about this when you choose a gauge color, you look at the gauges everytime you look down at the car, after awhile the bright yellow bight be a bit too intense. The Ferrari CS tachometer is a dull yellow for a reason. Anyway my thoughts and goodluck.

Yasir--nice car lineup you got there-how does your C2 turbo compare to your Supra TT?
