I also have the red factory seat belts. Which compliments the interior nicely.

Your pics are making me think irrationally. Caught myself with credit card in hand.

Having seen the FVD red faced gauges in a local owner's 997S, I can tell you they're sweet, both during the day and at night. I've seen some of the cheaper gauge face kits out there during day and night, and trust me, there is a HUGE difference. This is one of those times where you truly get what you pay for.

slick911,
they are die cut plastic (same as oem) and are in fact manufactured in germany by the same printer as the oem faces . They have the same scripting, shading and warning lights as the oem faces. Here is a pic...
i know they are steep in cost but when you are doing your research on the faces that are available out there, be sure to check the scripting and shading carefully. Not all are manufactured correctly and are done extremely cheaply without the oem details. Here are a few examples, granted they are on a 996 variant but you will get the gist..
hope that helps.

I ordered a set last week too. It was originally suppose to be a Christmas gift but that went out the window quick. Now it's Halloween gift. Lol
ETA is three weeks. That's BS for someone that wants it yesterday.

The good news is that when they show up they will be the right part with factory fit and finish. It's worth the wait. My new ForgeLine RA1s are due Friday so I'll have something to play with in the meantime

Here it is. I think it looks great. Took longer to swap than expected because I ran into several problems. The gauge faces looks oem but there are a few subtle differences but I went ahead with the swap anyway and just kept the OEM just in case.

slick911,
You beat me to the install. They red gauge faces look very nice. I have mine but haven't had the time to get them installed. The quality, as expected from FVD is top rate. I'll most likely get a set of red belts for the newly installed sport buckets.

PM me if you run into some issues when you get into the cluster. I'll try to share my experience as much as possible. I had three needles that didn't function after the swap but was able to get it fixed.
