Ok after reading K Man's seat belt install, it seems fairly simple so I am going to order red seat belts for my silver Cayman. I would also like to get the red gauge(s) face plate to match! Is there anywhere to find this part? I am planning on painting my calipers red as well to complete the theme. Thanks for any help
btw i have seen one other member here with the red gauges and i think his post said his came that way. so do any of our sponsorshave these? if not, anybody else?
hello? is this thing on? ok, but seriously i saw another cayman, an S, with YELLOW gauges on Dupont Registry! where can i get these?
They were ordered that way as an option. Call sponsor Bumperplugs and see if they can paint them for you.
this is a mod that i have wanted to do for quite some time . i have found that the only route at the moment if you want different color guage faces is to order them directly from Porsche (aftermarket companies do not have colored guage faces for 987 model porsches yet) . from there , you can get the dealer to install them for you .
i ordered my gauges in the sand beigh color to match my interior. I would think this would be very very expensive and alot of work to try to get the gauges painted, , not sure you could even order them separately from Porsche. Mine do look really cool though..
RUF makes a different guage set for the Cayman. Maybe they also offer them in colors???

Personally, I've found the red gauges illegible in daylight & not close to Guards Red in color, however to each his own. A friend optioned red gauges on his GR CS, but didn't like them. The dealer swapped them out for the standard gauges at no charge. I'm pretty sure the dealer still has the red guages that came out of the car. If anyone is interested I can check if they are for sale. I'm sure the price would be attractive.
Hey, could you PLEASE post a pic? I'm very interested in this mod but have never seen it
i am absolutely interested! if you could find out if they are for sale that would be terrific!
Hey guys..
One of my business is developing and wholesale EL gauges. my website is
www.elGauges.com -- Free Ground Shipping on White Face Racing Reverse el Glow Gauges & Gauge Face
. I don't have cayman gauges on my application list and i personally don't think cayman driver will like to have el gauges installed on it.
But if you guys want me to develop it (color gauges).. i think this is a piece of cake for me. I have a contract manufactory(oversea) doing el gauges business with me over 7yrs. So, i would like to use my business sourse to benifit our cayman community.
If we get enough people for the project, I can get the ball roll asap since i want to have a red one on my silver cayman too. My estimate time for modding and developing will be around 2 months.
Estimate Price : $50 - $70 ( depends on the how much it cost me to get the gauges cluster )
Estimate Time : 2-3 months (depends how fast i can find a used cluster, don't want to use a new one since i want to keep the price range between $50-$70)
Color : yellow and red. ( since this is not a mass production. we are limited on color choice)
Number of People need: 40+
Since i am not trying to make money from this project. If we get over 40 people, I will adjust the price on each unit.
Please feel free tell me what you guys thing.

just to clarify you are talking about remanufacturing the gauge faces in color? or are you taking about making the gauges like the ones you do on your site?
If anyone is interested, my local dealer has a take off set of Porsche oem (factory) red painted gauges available for a fraction of the new price (
see my post above
). PM or email me & I'll put you in touch with the General Manager who has been using them as a bookcase ornament.
:cheers:
