If you have not yet emailed me at admin@carpokes.com for your bezel, please do that so we can make sure you are on my list and get the postage paid. I got plenty of bezels to go around for now, but they take a while to paint/cure.

Bonus points given for those who post pics 'before' pics of the sports chrono gauge and/or otherwise embrace Carpokes with posts here and/or helping to spread the word about Carpokes on other platforms.

p.s., when you email me, make sure to tell me your Carpokes user name so I know who's who. Thanks.

Hi Tom, I’d like one as well; ‘22 GTS in GT Silver. Thanks! Reggie

Many thanks, Tom, for your perseverance w/ the Bordeaux paint matching. It looks like you're on the right track...

What do you think? I was after gloss and got more of a satin finish, but I'm kind of feeling it! @JimB and @myjc

Tom! You are a magician! My new chrono bezel looks amazing. Thank you so much.

Sweet!! Love those pictures! Thanks for posting them. Plenty more where that one came from -- and for the cost of shipping no less. Tell your friends!

p.s., on a side note, until the age of about 15, my life ambition was, in fact, to be a magician. I was doing birthday parties and local events, and living the dream.

Hi Tom, I would love one as well, 22 GTS
Do you make them in shark blue, if not red is fine

First off, welcome to Carpokes! Please stick around and participate -- we're new, but have a good and growing group of folks joining every day! And we are 100% independent, owned an managed by hardcore Porsche fans.


For the bezels, my colors tend to be off-the-shelf spray paint that are close but not identical to the factory colors. Guards red is an exception since Rustoleum makes a paint that is virtually identical. Post some pictures of your car (inside and out) and I'll give you my professional opinion. My initial thought on my car was to match the exterior paint, but after playing around with various colors, it seems to flow better if you pick up on colors in the cabin. But obviously, it's all personal preference.... I have not done a Shark bezel yet, but poking around, it looks like Rustoleum has 2 good possibilities. Computer screens are not the best for color matching, but maybe the Sail Blue?
