I just had these made for my Championship Ed. project. Just looking for some feedback really...

Let's be nice if you don't care for them. I'm sensitive.

that matches the stripes on a specific porsche, right? pretty cool idea.

(sorry if i'm wrong i'm still a porsche noob)

Very nice Gagues! I was thinking of doing the same on my 924, but without the stripes, unless if i had a martini edition.

Mai-those are the stripes used on all Martini Racing cars. Since the Championship Ed. is commonly referred to as the Martini Ed. I ran with that concept.

The car is actually being converted to a Group 4 replica, which was a one off race car built by Martini. I am re-creating the body kit shown here...

The only difference being that I will blend the flares in, and the fenders will be one piece rather than the very crude bolt on look. I have had the entire graphics kit recreated as well with some minor revisions.

I think they would stand out too much in my car, but they look good. Enjoy.

Nice! And this comes from the PICKIEST guy in the USA! Your feelings have been spared!

I would like to see these done in Porsche color scheme and the model in place of Martin.

dgz--thanks.

Gauge faces can be made in any color, any graphic, and with any logo you want. The possibilities are endless.

These were done by Meister gauge faces at...
http://www.h2ovw.com

I did the basic design and layout and Dave, the owner, finished them off.

I also opted to have him do the install. This cost a bit more than the actual faces, but it is well worth it. He completely reconditions your gauges, polishes the lenses, and can repair your odometer if need be. 100% satisfied with his service.

Already working on the next set for my Sebring 79' project.

I also have purchased plain white faces in the past and did the install myself...no fun for a novice.

If you want custom faces, Dave is the best.

I like 'em. Can you PM me so I can get a better understanding of how you got this done?

That's Pretty Interesting.

I Had Been Planning A Similar Project That Took A Turn Towards A Standard Carrera GT.

I Happen To Have Brand New, In The Box, Martini Racing/MOMO Steering Wheel And Shift Knob Both With The Martini Stripes.

I Was Saving Them As They Are Ultra Rare And I Paid A Bundle For Them.

Interested !??

Soy...check your PM's.

I had plans for customizing a Grant wheel and shift knob to keep costs down, but convenience has its own appeal.

Hey Neil...Some Gaurds Red gauges with the Carrera script in White would look nice in your car.

IMHO of course.

No Neil, it was a suggestion.

Your dash looks like it could use a creative boost.
