FVD Brombacher – German Quality Gauge Faces, the differences are day…and night!

Gauge faces are one of the most visible and frequently looked at components in your Porsche. Why skimp on quality? Gauge faces should have clearly visible markings and be easy to read with and without back lighting. Replacement faces should offer similar qualities, but many gauge faces on the market don’t quite make the grade. FVD gauge faces are different. What makes them different you ask? See for yourself.

In the below pictures you will see that the Tiptronic is an FVD Gauge face and the 6 speed gauge face is the competitions.

The daytime difference (the competition):
  • Darker, more yellow appearance
  • Raised orange warning lights, not flush
  • Larger, bolder script than the factory gauges
  • Ruff on the edges (not die cut)

Joel,

We only have the yellow tach with the Gemballa on it. Those are our clearance items so we don't have any without that logo currently. You would need to purchase a kit.

Thanks,
Rhonda

Get the yellow center, or red. Here is the ones I got from them, red center, light silver side panels. This was like 10 cars ago so its a old picture, they were also one of the few people who could track down a GT3 center delete kit for me at the time.

yalmutawa,

We typically sell 350 KM/h but you can custom order 400 KM/h. I have not seen the 9,000 rpm but I can inquire if you would like.

By the way here our faces in MPH go to 225 if anyone was curious.
