PAGING: fellow forum expert "photoshoppers"

I've been going back and forth, for the past week, unable to come with a conclusion on a color scheme for my gauge cluster. Anyone here handy enough with Photoshop so i can get a better idea what colors to go with? Thank you ahead of time!


here are some ideas I've been playing around with and hoping someone can Photoshop
*silver tach only
*yellow tach only
*silver tach w/ outer gauges yellow
*yellow tach w/ outer gauges silver



(here's a pic I'm hoping someone will be able to photoshop)

Silver looks good, but is too similar to S faces to me. If you're looking for wow factor, silver won't do much for other Porsche folks looking at it.

I might suggest a red or maybe orange tach and yellow for the other gauges. That would show others that you've done something different.

Keep in mind this is coming from someone with an orange Boxster and a green Cayman.

100% agreed. My Original plan was to have a red tach but I'm having trouble finding one that's not just an overlay. I do like the silver but also think it wouldn't pop out enough with already having silver trim rings around the gauges.
