Gauge Face Question - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I've seen colored gauge faces for the Boxster. I expect they were a factory option. Does anyone know of another source other than the factory?
Thanks for any info.

There are probably a lot of places to find gauge faces. IMO, they're all priced about four times more than they're worth. I got my techart faces (silver) for $59 off eBay one morning at 2:45 am on night a couple of years ago. NR Auto is $169 per set.

I pulled this site from Excellence magazine, but a lot of others come up in Google searches.

Try here. Good service and some gauge faces come one sale. Note that the lettering is a little different from the original.

Also, be extremely careful when changing them out...dial motors can be fragile.

Dude don't change them out unless it's a MUST DO mod for you.

It's too easy to misalign the needles when reinstalling everything. Once you've misaligned them it's over,get ready for a pain in the a55.

Thanks all for replies ... Blinkwatt, will heed your caution. Have changed them out on my Miata following Miata.net advice with no problem, however???
