Neo Retro Vibe

Green-on-black is a huge nod to the early 911s (like the 356 and the 911 long-hoods), which used VDO gauges with green lettering. Putting them in a 986 creates a “neo-retro” vibe – it’s taking a car from the late 90s and giving it a soul from the 60s.

The green is punchy and looks great against the black texture. It feels very “analog”, and it’s one of the easiest colors for the human eye to process in low light.

Green-on-black looks incredibly high-end when paired with leather. It makes the car feel more like a “boutique” build.

Printed directly on high quality dense plastic with UV printing technology for deep and rich colors. Laser engraving preserves details sharp and crisp. Anti-glint finish makes the surface matt and smooth. The gauge face is pre-cut with precision laser and ready to be installed. All warning lights and icons are the same as original and match OEM placement.

The material is resistant to heat, bright sun or moisture.
