Electroluminescent Gauge Faces
 
Not for me, but thought they were neat and I've never seen them before.

97 04 Porsche Boxster 996 AC Autotechnic White Overlay Glow Gauge Faces 150 MPH | eBay

They are not "glow in the dark", but EL ;)

These would be nice if they weren't in ricer blue.

Finally someone came up with something like that for real...i only posted a fast shot design over a year ago :D
They look as if they were actually meant for the pre2k Boxsters. Not really my cup of tea. I still would like to see something similar though, to display the speed in the center :D

240km/h ? .....not enough :rolleyes:

Wow...takes me back to the 90's when these were hot! Used to pimp these in my 97 VW Jetta!

I wouldn't give up my Porsche stylish numbering dials for anything!

Or maybe I would if only those "red" gauge plates were still available (those with identical Porsche numbers, Techart I think) . Flipping up all those needles is a huge gamble I've read, the only reason I didn't play in there, yet anyway. Never know

Quickly rigged that PS for those of you who (might) like the look. Interesting find Charles

When it is not lit up the gtS looks phallic.... :)

Not my cuppa, but to each his own. Now, if I was ambitious enough, I would like to upgrade my dull yellow gauge bulbs to something brighter.

these in my opinion are not good looking, not even the right font or design, besides I would not want to look at a logo that is not original all the time, perhaps if they reproduce oem style would be a cool proposition

+1 The OEM gauge faces are a model of simplicity and clarity.
