I would love to order a full set in crayon/chalk color please! Thank you!
I have a light grey that is fairly close to chalk (but without all the nuance of real chalk). I'm also going to the paint shop later this week. For $35, I can get true chalk/crayon matched to the Porsche paint code if you want. Let me know. :) Getting an exact match is typically mission critical if you have interior trim pained in exterior paint color; but otherwise less obvious. Chalk has unique qualities though, so up to you.
I'm fine with the extra $35 to get the exact color! I don't have interior trim pained in exterior paint color but still want the bezel in crayon/chalk. Appreciate your help Tom!

@APRisti -- yours is ready -- please PM to make arrangements.
@Robert986 -- yours is ready -- please PM to make arrangements.
@VA_CT -- yours is ready -- let's find a time/place; I owe you a PM....
@Mike992 --yours has been ready for a while -- last call. :)

@Michaelx, @Nine finger Porsche, @ggsf, and @sliksunny: you each requested a full set of covers. I'm offering the Sports Chrono bezels for free as a calling card for the site. The tach and mode dial covers are much more time consuming (with lower success yield) so in fairness to those waiting, I am limiting full sets to active carpokes members (per post #298 in this thread). I'll be thrilled to make you each a full set, but I'd want to see you on the site, posting, setting up avatars, telling friends, etc. in order to offer up a full free set. This is a community-building perk, and nothing would make me happier than to see you become part of the community with a full set of bezels. :)
Hi Tom,
Sure, that's what I am planning to do. I was off for few days but now back in.
Avatar updated, friends informed .. however they mostly drive electrics :/ .. will try to convince them, at least try a flat6 :)
Is there any specific area/page where we can introduce ourself as a start?
Have a nice Sunday.


This page is a good start:

Just updated the list. :)

Several folks have asked for bezels and have not been back to participate or check on status. I'm hesitant to work on those bezels, just so I'm not delaying bezels for those who are actively participating. So please make your presence known here and I'll prioritize your bezel(s). Otherwise, at some point, I may start taking names off the list or re-establishing the dreaded abyss status. :angel: :silent: :wtf: :shock:

There were a few others that asked for Chalk, but not sure of their status here. If possible, I'll spread the cost among those who want that paint -- so $35 is worst case. :) But please appreciate that full sets are limited to those who actively participate. I'll proceed on the presumption that you will, but don't let me down. ;)

I will update the list soon. In the meantime, I have a very nice Shark Blue set ready for @elm310 and a red SC for @staceybsnyder, and a few others that are curing now :) Going to take another stab at yellow this week, and go to the paint shop for the various colors requested (chalk, aventurine, lizard, PTS orange, etc.)
