In anticipation of things to come, I made this video showing how to get the bezel off the 718 Sports Chrono Gauge.

Haha -- didn't mean to be so mysterious. 
I'm working on a replica bezel in black. I had done a one-off for Bob Z a while ago, but now that I have the gauge in hand, I'm making some tweaks to get it just right. I had really wanted to make a clip-on cover like I did for the 992/Taycan, but there's just not enough meat on these to clip anything to. I'm printing these in black resin, so the picture below is right off the printer with no paint or other prep. Working to get the printing process perfected and am testing this material on the dash of my truck today, on a sunny 95 degree day, so see how it holds up. Stay tuned.

Can't wait either! I stare at the reflection off my windshield at least a few times per drive in my 718

Subscribed - I'd paint it Speed Yellow for my '19 718 Cayman S - thanks

Unlike the covers I could never get to fit/look right, I do have a model to completely replace the bezel. It's printed on a higher end resin printer (Form Labs) so might be a challenge to look good on a typical home printer, but I will dig up the model today. I'm inclined to offer them unpainted in black, since painting these invariably takes more time and effort (and second tries) than I can justify charging for.
