    Black or Red Dials?

    I have a March build for a 997 C2S Cab.  I am leaning toward black dials, but red dials w/ the sport chrono in red is also an option.  I have chosen the cream white w/ black full leather, sport seats, black top. Sport seat backs, trim strip, center vents,  rear center console, door trim, seat belt outlet in exterior color. Red accents on seat belts and mats.   Thanks in advance for constructive opinion.  However, as taste is taste, and if you happen to believe mine is that of a hairdresser, girlie man, or some other pejorative, I also thank you in advance for holding that opinion privately.Smiley

    As you get the red accents on seat belts I would take the red. 

    On the other hand side, you are getting so many cream white interior and exterior details, why dont you go for white dials instead?

    IMO, "less is more:" get black. Interior is way too busy without adding to it.

    Red dials used to come with red needles, did they change that for all cars or are yellow needles only available on GT2,3?:
