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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

what have people done to "improve" on the 996 interior. Mainly wondering about focusing on the center console, and seats? Any pictures? The questions only comes up because the 996TT is such an incredible bargain these days, that the only thing making me think twice is the interior compared to that of the 997S. Of course performance is better, and exterior looks can always be changed if I feel the look ever gets dated, but what can be done about the interior. Can those great 997 seats be transplanted into the 996TT? Is there a better center console option? Has anyone done a custom interior, or even custom upholstery on their 996 (pics)? Or are the only "mod" available a double din headunit with gps, and some carbon fiber parts? Most likely I would still pull the trigger anyways as soon as I find the right 996TT, but knowing there are at least some options for interior tweaks would make me feel a lot better. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

POST 2Original post

There are a lot of custom interior parts - Carbon Fiber parts are available from various vendors, plus various painted parts, too. Ebay usually has used leather parts, too.

You'll never get a 997 interior in a 996 without spending HUGE $$. Search under Ben Choi's user name and check out his interior. The CF pieces are the key to to a great looking 996 interior IMHO and they can be very easily retrofitted to a car that does not have them.

POST 4Original post

CF bits really do improve the look and feel of the interior. I added a number of pieces this spring here are before & after pics: All parts from Bumperplugs.com
