Sport Chrono gauge face in red

I am installing red gauge faces in my 08 C2S. I need to acquire a red gauge face for the sport chrono timer.

I know this exists because I have seen them in or P cars.

Where did you source the red guages and who is doing the install for you ?

Thanks

I have the Guards Red OEM gauges. The chrono gauge that fvd sells is "Indian Red" darker than Guards Red.

Sorry DS997c2s but that is incorrect. Please look at the picture below. Indischrot in German translates as Indian Red. However, it is the same color and color code as Guards Red.

So, Indischrot "Indian Red" = Guards Red



A cool way to check this out is call your local dealer for 997.1 touch up paint # 911 095 932 20 80K Guards Red ask him to select MENU in the PET (Porsche Parts System) and change language to German. Viola you have Indischrot.

in that case as well to complement the gauges.

I believe that the $328.01 is for the whole kit, not just the sport chrono face, I would hope! I did pay over $500.00 for my Fvd faces (w/o the sport chrono) last year. I have not installed them yet.

I called Palo Alto speedo when I was planning to buy the gauge faces, and they quoted me 2 hours labor.

$328 is just for the two gauges for chrono. Agree very very expensive!

Rhonda helped me with my overlay. The color is spot on with the OEM Guards Red.
