    My '88 328 GTS was delivered new in Florida and spent most of its existence in the South, and was apparently outside a lot. Over the years the sun exposure has taken it's toll on the color of the gauges. Instead of bright orange, a few of them have faded to a pale yellowish color. What's worse is that they didn't wear evenly, looking as if the bulk of the sun came from the passenger side.

    Anyway, has anybody ever had their gauges restored? I don't even know if it's possible. I would love to bring them all back to one solid orange color if possible. I already checked with North Hollywood Speedometer and they said they couldn't do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Redid some of my 308 gauges at Palo Alo.


    A bit pricey, slow and worth every penny I spent.



    Have not tried the other one mentioned.

    I found this one [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7RZZuIkAOA]Custom gauge dials by CAD Graphics, Inc. - YouTube[/ame]
    I had some 308 faceplates made, but I was not pleased with the silk screen printing. Maybe these guys can help?

    North Hollywood Speedometer.

    Used them twice now for my 911 and they have always got them back to me within 1 week and perfect each time.

    Cheers
