I think this one is going to be popular. :) Pops right on/off. Should fit the 991 too, and probably others...

Having learned a bit from the bezel covers, I'm going to ask (beg?) the newer members who want these covers to embrace carpokes by setting up avatars, posting an introduction and/or picture of your car, posting a bit, helping to spread the word about carpokes, etc. No specific requirements, and I never say no honestly, but I'm hoping these covers become something of a badge of honor for those who share the growing esprit de corps here on Carpokes!

Do manual cars not have the center button? Can you post a picture of your dial? Will definitely get you one. Will have Larry test fit on his car and, assuming all ok, I'll start making them available.

Here are two pics. You can see the button has four settings instead of the two of PDK cars. The first pic seems to show a "button" but that is really a reflection and merely an indentation in the center of the switch. There is no button on mine. I had considered asking for the red button cover, but what would be the point? But I do like the cover you've designed, it will make the switch pop.

Just picked up my car after an oil change (and recall things), so had a chance to try out a couple covers on a 2022 Cayenne Turbo. :)

Hello new dial-cover seekers and welcome to carpokes! As I mentioned on fb, I'm still looking for feedback on the fit in real life, so will send out a limited number to us-based 718 owners to try out. This platform requires 3 posts before you can send a PM, so I'd encourage you to post an introduction and maybe a picture of your car or anything else of interest, to get to 3. These covers are intended to be an introduction to Carpokes, so please look around, get to know the place, and PM me your address when you can. If you are not in the US, I'm going to hold off sending until our beta testers give it a bright green light. :)
