2011 Turbo Coupe 9 days away! Why no black gauges??

Basalt black with basalt wheels. Nice options with red deviated stiching but didn't go crazy as the sticker easily passes 152k and no PDK! Will post some pics over Memorial day weekend. Not sure why black gauges are not an option (available on c4s) and I really wanted them. Any suggestions on how to change??

Thanks

Jeff

Nice Ride. I'm sure you can have them changed and someone will be chiming in shortly.

Congrats on a beautiful sounding Turbo! My last 997.1 was Basalt Black with black wheels and I love the combo! I am sure you will enjoy that bad boy and I cant wait to see pics!

Beautiful car. Many congrats.

Regarding your black gauges:
FVD sell many different gauge faces for the 997.1 & .2 TT.
I tried to search for you for black non-pdk MPH & Fahrenheit but hey don't list it on their site. They have black faces for .1 stick but it's kph and they have black faces for .2pdk also kph. They do have many different colors mph.
Maybe you could contact them and ask if they can make them for you.
Here's the link to the 997 gauge face options at FVD:

Alternatively, there's a company called Palo Alto Speedometer that will do custom gauge faces color conversion for you. Here's a link to their website:

Good luck and hope this helps.
