Welcome! Shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can get you going. I can get code-matched colors for a price, though if memory serves on the one I did for Tim above, I juiced my standard red with a dark primer to make it pretty close to Carmine....Sportbiker wrote: Sun Oct 12, 2025 7:22 pm Hey, Tom, found my way over here from 718, this having caught my eye. Outfitting my new-to-me '24 CGTS4.0 that is Carmine Red. I saw you'd made a cover for Ecleland that was a darker red and which he described as a close match. Can you let me know how much to remake that one and ship, if still possible?
Thanks in advance.

I just responded to your email, but I have good news. Your post just now was the 50,000th post on Carpokes -- my how we're growing -- so in celebration of that you can take 10% off the prices I mentioned.Sportbiker wrote: Mon Oct 20, 2025 7:05 pmDone.Tom wrote: Sun Oct 12, 2025 8:13 pm Welcome!

I may be opening a can of worms but does anyone have Turbonite color on stitching or seatbelts? I think they are currently limited to “turbo” models.

Seems to be a "Turbo" thing (whatever that meansLarry C wrote: Wed Apr 22, 2026 4:02 pm I may be opening a can of worms but does anyone have Turbonite color on stitching or seatbelts? I think they are currently limited to “turbo” models.
) -- at least according to this video that doesn't take the selection of a metallic grey/bronze color too seriously at all... Probably why I was never invited to the marketing department parties, but this video seems like an SNL parody to me... -

I’ll let Tom weigh in but, IMO, the red dial cover will be a close match to the brake calipers. It doesn’t need to be a perfect match because you won’t see them side by side. After many iterations, Tom was unable to design a SC bezel for the 718 that could fit in the tight area between the SC and the enclosure.Pokey77 wrote: Sat May 16, 2026 5:07 pm I have a 25' CS with red brakes. Will the dial cover match the brake color?
Also Tom, do you make a sport chrono bezel?

What he said.
The standard red is pretty close to Guards Red, maybe a smidge deeper red... I've never really looked at red calipers to compare but my hunch is they're pretty close but maybe a bit lighter (more cherry) -- though don't quote me on that. Larry is right though, you are unlikely to notice since they are not side by side...
