Gauge Face Options

2317 Views 48 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  ELCID86
Is anyone making these Gauge Face covers/overlays anymore? The Suncoast ones seem quite pricey for what it is, but I'm not seeing many other options besides a few eBay ones with bad feedback :/

I looked at the site, so there's Tiptronic, PDK and Switch. Then of course 190 or 175. I did Switch 175 for my manual Base. Hope that's right!

Mine came in today. Looks great!:

There is one problem though… my Cayman is a 6-speed (my mistake 🤦‍♂️)

Anyone need one for their auto 987?

oh no. That’s part of my worry with buying from them—the translation of opinions. If I had a 987 I’d grab this from you. I’m sure someone will.

So did you order “black” letters/numbers? I’m wondering if the don’t choose a color option if they are transparent/back illuminated?

I did order the Black numbers:
Font Number Parallel

I think the default is white numbers on a black dial, so I don’t think they would be transparent.

Thanks. I guess I was think about the Heiler ones. There is an option there to buy White faces with White numbers or pay 10 Euro for colors. I'm not sure what that would look like.

I "think" I did it right, I'll let you know when mine show up. I went yellow face with black everything else. I didn't see anything transparent, but there were a lot of carbon fiber and personal message options. I didn't do any of those.

Mine are done. I'll do a full write up with pics. It's a bit different steps than the videos on youtube for our 987s.

Love the look! I went to the site and found the button to transfer to English but cannot find how to order the speedo display in MPH with a top speed of 175 as shown in your order. They all top out at 190. How did you configure your order?

On this page:

The top 6 choices are PDK, Tiptronic or Switch(Manual) and each of those will have the option of 175 or 190. You might have to click on it to see.

If you have any other Qs just let me know.

I see they make faces for a C6 Corvette so I may do it to mine as well!

Unless it’s me, I don’t see any options for the type of transmission. The only options other than color, color scale, letter color, color temperature, are MPH to KPH, etc. And I can’t reach out to them because I do t speak German. Where did you find the transmission options?

The website has an option for English next to the phone number in the top left corner. It is either DE(German) or EN(English). If you browser auto translate ( like Google chrome), it will be EN(German) or IN(English). Either way, select the bottom/ second option for English.

For the PDK, Tiptronic, or Manual, they are all different items. It will be listed in the name of the item.

Those first 3 are 190mph. The next 3 (shown with black faces) are all 175mph.

me too.. I tried to order but IT was confusing as I was not 100% sure that I would be ordering correctly..
As I need the White face, PDK, and 190 MPH (for 981 Cayman S), so I didn't place the order :-(

Do you have the link for the 981 page? I can take a look.
Thank you for the kind offer, this is what I am looking for:

The first link you posted has the ability to select a MPH option: Customize Speedometer Discs by Porsche - Heiler-Tachodesign Accessori

Double check, but I think these are the options you want:

Thanks for your quick response. Based on your info, found the link for the application I need. It seems that the base Boxster speedo tops out at 175 mph, while the “S” is the 190 mph version. Is that correct? Looking at your photos, is your speedo disc in a base 987?

Thank you Jonley, I really appreciate your help!

So if one doesn’t choose the black numbers, will they be “transparent” and be backlit?

Yep, that's how it is on the Cayman as well. I have the base so 175 on mine!

Thank you for clearing that up for me, exactly as I was able to deduce. I now believe that I can order my gauge face despite having no understanding of the German language. Except that I was firmly set on the white face, but seeing your results with the yellow background I’m back to flipping coins on which color to get. The standard issue black background that was original to the base now seems quite sedentary when looking at the pics of your finished product. I’ll post pics when I push the button and order and install my final choice. Happy and safe cruising!
