@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.

Gulf blue might look too UCLA? If you went with a color, yellow is probably the way to go. But looking at that interior, I can't help but think carbon fiber might look even better. They sell that carbon fiber vinyl wrap stuff....

That's great. Thank you so much. And thanks for the offer to pay, much appreciated, but it's really not about the money for me, and I fear I could never keep up if I offered them to the public at a reasonable price! For the short-term anyway, I like the idea of making them special perks for folks who are embracing Carpokes and helping it grow.

Understood - so I‘ll try to support as mich as I can.

Thanks and I hope is doesn't sound like I'm asking anyone to jump through hoops. There have been some who post once asking for a full set and then don't even reply when it's ready, so I'm mostly just trying to ensure the time I spend on these is well-spent in general, and well-spent in terms of building the community.

Do you think its possible to do one in Pantone PMS 159, CMYK 0,65,100,9 or RGB 191,87,0 (#bf5700)? Those are the exact color codes for the version of orange I'm looking for.

Willing to consider any passed on costs to make it happen!

I can try. What is it? Does it have a Porsche or other mfg paint code? Absent that, I'd need to take it to the paint shop and pic a color from their thousands of color samples. But to do that, I'd need something in the exact color you're looking for...
