The gauge cluster is just sitting in place (thinking about replacing the bulbs before I button everything back down).

ferrari on the other hand uses just enough like in the f430 to make the interior stand out.

I'm really pleased with the results, ofcourse now I'm thinking about the storage area beneath the radio...I think that area could use a little artic silver as well.
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.

Marc That looks great, I am so glad it worked out.
Trying to dress up my kinda bland interior...
New Arctic silver Console from Bumperplugs.com (Eric is a pleasure to deal with and quality is first rate!)
Also added the Alumalook instrument bezel (Thanks kilrgt)
I have a set of Aluminum gauge rings on order and would like to get the hazard and ignition surrounds in Alumalook..and who knows what else!
Not a huge fan of the peddles...
I'm sure I will think of some other stuff to blow some cash on
It's amazing how boring the stock interior is, I am definitely a "less is more" kind guy but the 996 just begs for a better interior!
Marc That looks great, I am so glad it worked out. I hate to say it but you have the sickness! The mod sickness............... Its such a great sickness!
Nice job that looks great! I want to add the same shifter, actually I like the stock if I could just add the boot and trim ring.
Where did you get the shifter and gauge rings? I got my rings from DPS and they look like crap. I want to replace them one day if I can get them off.
+1 on Eric, I drove over to his shop and got my side markers and silver hood crest from him
The shifter came with the car.
I was going to buy the gauge rings for eagleday they for 129, they are made by NR but I got them right off NR's site for 99 bucks.
If the quality is not good they will go back, I had the factory ones in my 986S and they looked awesome. I just dont know who has the best quality ones. Ebay is always a crapshoot.
Love the look, I'm in the middle of doing mine as well
. Still putting the center console back together, but here are some random pics. The gauge cluster is just sitting in place (thinking about replacing the bulbs before I button everything back down). Can someone tell me if I've done the hinging correctly for the console lid? Doesn't seem like it opens up far enough and it's been so long since I've taken it apart.
Please let me know how the quality is. The rings are on my list, right after mufflers. Just about got the SpeedART cans today, close call. Might do it in the next few days, if I can make up my ever changing mind n this subject.
BTW, I got the aluminum peddles a few months back and IMO it goes good with black/silver combo.
It is a matter of taste, I posted a pic for a visual aid, just in case.
The parts came with the car... I purchased the car with a blown motor back in late October and I've been freshening it up a bit (why I'm not that familiar with how the lid works - I'm not sure that I ever opened it). I wasn't sure if the lid was opening as far as it should, but everything looked right to me (I should've take some pics).
I take a class in autobody painting at a local vo-tech school one night a week just to have a place to work on my projects and deceided to play around with the interior some after seing pics on this site... I really like the artic silver/black combo..
the main thing with the painted parts is the amount of time it takes to prep. the base material. if you just paint over the part w/o the proper prep, the paint will just crack and split. personally i do not like the painted parts for these cars, it looks...hate to say the word....cheap. the plastic oem parts do not look any better. for cars that cost so much porsche should have done a better job in material selection. the only interior upgrades that look best imo are the cf and leather option. i replaced the rear center counsole with the leather type and it looks great. its more expensive than the painted parts, but what's not expensive in these cars..
It's all about personal taste, while I think full leather is the best look for sure I have never been a fan of CF in a Porsche no matter how well done.
marc...i agree. i have seen p-cars with too much cf and it detracts from the looks at the same time. however, some cf touches really enhances the appearance. the carrera gt is cf heaven for those who like it. ferrari on the other hand uses just enough like in the f430 to make the interior stand out.
do not know why porsche does not use some real aluminum accent within the interior instead of the imitation look. the audi's and bmw have some real nice aluminum accents in their interiors which looks great. for my money give me the real stuff and keep the imitation stuff out. expensive high performance cars should look and feel what they represent...the real thing!!
i'm def one of those cars since i have a bunch of oem cf in my car. without it, the stock plastic bits look like absolute ****. at least the cf blends in with the blakc/gray interior. the stock painted stuff.. too much of it .. is over the top more so than cf will ever be.
I just thought that I'd share some pic updates after I got the center console installed last night. I'm really pleased with the results, ofcourse now I'm thinking about the storage area beneath the radio...I think that area could use a little artic silver as well.
