I am working with a design team that opened up the opportunity to design custom gauges for my 991.1 GT3 with this classic inspiration. Honestly I was not expecting anyone else to want this design but if you or anyone else is interested I am sure I could arrange to have more sets made.

This might be a good option for the design studio if they want to productize the design. They would need to consider differences between models (996, 997, 991, etc) and PDK vs Manual. In my case I would be interested in 991.2 GT3 Touring Manual but the design is beautiful.

After a very nice track weekend at VIR I finally got around to installing the retro gauges in my 911.1 GT3. I am very pleased. The gauges and the houndstooth seats look beautiful together. Here are a couple of pics:

New faces installed on the cluster

On the car

Loving how it looks illuminated

By the way did anyone see the sport classic 992 in the latest Panorama? Classic gauge and pepita seats - very good taste!

Pepita seats and classic gauge face

Looks familiar but I have a higher redline!

i have an extra set of the GT3 classic looking gauge faces that I posted above. They have some customization that is not for everyone but it allowed me to use the Recaro Bucket seats!. PM me if you are interested in them

Too bad they are not for a manual gt3 touring… I would definitely take them if that was the case.

Your gauges look great.

Who makes these? Can they be made in a custom color for example the same color as an exterior Paint to Sample?

I forgot about this thread. I don't know who custom made the above users dials, but i'll give a shout out to https://venoxy.com.

You can get them to render anything within reason, but i could see them telling you no on something very outside the box. I got my white ones redone. See attached. I'm happy with them and I didn't break anything. You just need patience and the right tools. Take it slowly and watch and rewatch and go slow. Rinse, repeat!!!

I checked them out, but there just not the OEM quality. The 3 in GT3 would drive me nut not being the same. I found someone to make me some OEM spec gauge faces, not cheap but at the same level of quality.

Thank you. What about custom colors such as exterior paint to sample color?
