I like the way the white gauges break up the all black interior. Good Job!

is the c/f just an overlay or is it a replacement for the stock dash?

Congrats on your project. Looks good.
At one time I wanted white faces in order to break up the black hole of the interior. I did not do it and I'm kind of glad now. It IMHO looks a bit trick for me. I am also not a big fan of CF either. I think that just a simple chrome or brushed ring around the dials looks pretty good. I always thought it would be cool to put some retro guages (356 style) into the 911 - but that is big bucks talking there......

I like the carbon fiber - is it film that you cut, already cut, or a real CF piece that you glue in place?

Not a fan of white gauges, personal taste, but the CF background looks great. Post a link to the seller, if you can. Thanks.

How did you remove/reinstall the bezel that holds the glass in place on the gauge? I tried this once....removing was easy but it chewed up the bezel quite a bit and I could never get it back on securely.

Looks good. Here is something to think about.....My car had white faces installed when I bought it and my fuel, temp and tach were off by a bunch! Guessing that the PO didn't mark the needle positions correctly before removing them.
Saw a show where a guy turned the key on and recorded exactly where all of the gauges read before taking anything apart...kind of a double check for when he was done. |
