Finally after dreaming 911s since I was a kid, I got ownership of my very own '02 996 Targa last Friday! Here are a few pics! Just one question at the moment - can you direct me to a DIY guide on how to paint my center console? I really like the look of the body color painted consoles and mine is in a relatively bad shape. At this time though, I feel quite hesitant paying $350+ for a professionally painted unit. So any advice is very welcome!

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
