Let me see if I can find one before you celebrate too much. :) You didn't mention the sports chronos bezel, which would complete the set. :)

I emailed you as well, Tom. Maybe you can print one if you time one day - no rush. The car already has a Racing Yellow Sports Chrono face so a bezel may be too much Yellow (?)

Certainly looks to be a change from the typical stick-on ones from aliexpress.

I've had a number of them for previous model Cayenne and 911 (which share the same bezels). The paint on most of them tended to fade.

At least there is an alternative, but Tom's would be much better! If we can get enough interest maybe we can convince Tom to have another batch made - I will spread the word on other forums as well if need be and I am sure we would get more than the required # of people that want one to justify making more!

The tape on the ali-express one makes me sad. I put an inordinate amount of time into making mine grip onto the original bezel with no adhesives, etc. One early version held so tight I had to break it off. :shock: I'd be happy to print more blanks if there is sufficient interest, but painting them became a real chore. So the options I'd support are a run of unpainted blanks (would need to recoup about $400 in set up costs at a minimum), or hand-painted versions at some multiple of the prior price. :)

Tom - email me a few pics of them and I will get them on the other websites to see how many people are interested! I am sure you will get enough to make another batch!

And I will need an idea of the price, painted and non-painted. I assume most will want them painted, but I would happy to just an unpainted one!

So far I have not been able to find one. Haven't fully given up, but it's not looking good. The picture in the first post of this thread may be the best I can do right now. If you can get to 10 buyers at $40 each, unpainted, that would cover my costs. I'd much rather not paint them myself. It takes me hours to get professional results with my little DIY garage set up. I guess there's a price for anything, but the whole point of these things is to help generate goodwill and awareness about Carpokes, so I think it would put Carpokes in a bad light to charge for all that time (since a pro could do it in a fraction of the time).

And do you have the Sport Chrono trim rings as well? People are already asking if you have that, and how much?
