    3rd for me too. Lettering is the easiest to see.

    The various colors are nice looking when the car is parked. The white face is easiest to read when you're driving aggressively.

    Re: which? part two

    I would go for black dials: easy to read and very classical. All those colored dials - just trends. Black is the color to go for

    Re: which? part two

    pic 3.
    Also what about the color of the sports chrono? If the dials are yellow would the sports chrono still be silver/ white?

    The ONLY way I'd change dial color would be if you could get the sports chrono to match. Even so I don't like anything other than the stock silver/white or black.

    Re: which? part two

    Nope...the sport chrome dial stays the same throughout. The only time it changes color is with the BASE car in which it'd be black. That's the reason why I decided against getting colored dials.

    All 3 choices pictured above are cheesy. Black dials are the only choice.

    Re: which? part two

    Stradale is right, the sports chrono stays Silver. I have Terracota dials on my carrera S but that sport chrono dial is Silver. Didn't order the car, baught it off the showroom floor so I had no control over that but if I had to do it again, I'd leave it in Silver.

    Re: which? part two

    I'm surprised the options pickers at Porsche marketing haven't come out with a Ferrari -like yellow or red tach ONLY option . "All red" and "all yellow" gauges are just too cartoonish .They could probably get away with almost the same charge and sell tons, imo .

    Re: which? part two

    I have white in my Carrera S cab and at first I thought it would be some gimic but found that the way they work is not as I expected. They provide excellent contrast in all lighting conditions and with a black car would look great without being too garrish.

    I don't think you can do just black with a 997TT.

    I think black only comes with their BASE cars. I'm not 100% sure though.
