If you own a Porsche 986 or 987 Boxster/Cayman or 911 996 or 997, there is one flaw that unites every single owner. It doesn’t matter if your car has 30,000 miles or 130,000 miles. It doesn’t matter if it’s garaged every single night. It doesn’t matter how meticulously you maintain it.
Sooner or later, your gauge faces will start to peel.
The gauge faces peel, bubble, and fade under relentless heat and UV exposure from sunny drives and parked afternoons. It’s a heartbreakingly common issue, turning a precision German sports car into a visual headache.
And it’s not just about looks. Peeling dials are one of the first things a potential buyer notices, and they immediately knock hundreds if not thousands off the value of your car.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to live with it. For a tiny fraction of the cost of a new OEM cluster, you can restore your dashboard to factory condition, and add value to your car at the same time.
Porsche’s original gauge faces were never designed for eternity. Constant exposure to cockpit heat, ultraviolet rays, and everyday wear cause the printed lettering and graphics to delaminate. What starts as minor bubbling around the numbers escalates to full-on peeling, making your tachometer, speedometer, and warning lights look terrible.
This is such a tiny, stupid problem that ruins the entire experience of owning one of the best Porsches ever made.
One of our recent clients couldn’t take it anymore. He had the iconic red dials on his Boxster S, and they were starting to peel badly. He didn’t want any custom design. He just wanted them to look exactly like they did the day he bought it.
We made exact-match red gauge faces using advanced materials far superior to OEM. These aren’t just overlay stickers – they’re OEM-like replacements with enhanced heat and UV resistance, engineered to withstand another 20+ years of Porsche life. Installation is a straightforward DIY swap: pop out the old cluster, peel off the damaged faces, apply the new ones, and reassemble. No special tools beyond a trim tool and patience required.
We make exact replacement gauge faces for every Porsche model in the original factory colors. They are visually identical to the OEM dials – same font, same spacing, same warning lights. But there’s one major upgrade: our modern, UV and heat-resistant coating is designed to never peel.
For this 987, we also added a small, nice touch – a Boxster S logo instead of the base ‘1/min x 1000’ markings.
They are a direct swap for the original faces. No modifications, no calibration, no messing with the odometer. You can fit them in an hour using the video guide.
