I've decided to use my good old Drummel tool, shape it nicely to look correct as possible glue it down nicely, .....and i've called my paint guy in to color match the graphite gry interior and spray the exposed under console area that is exposed.......I love the look of the wood.....and it's only original once, right?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Hello all....I am brand new to Renn List as of today! I've owned over 50 Porsches in my lifetime...but I am in need of some Center Console advise and help! I just bought a NEAR perfect '02 Twin Turbo....STICK, it came with the "Light Wood Pkg Small" and the "Rear Center Console Light wood".......along with the E brake and shifter..........ALL THE WOOD ON THE CONSOLE IS CRACKING, DELAMINATING, ETC......The shifter e brake dash steering wheel etc is fine.......It's the Console and the piece if front of the shifter that are bad......No replacement wood available. What do I do for the fix......where is the repair shop that can do it??? etc......I am told to simply get rid of the bad wood.....replace it with standard stock Graphite gry stuff.....UGH! HELP. I am no technician! Thank you.....D.

POST 2Original post

It is $4,500 from Porsche and it is available according to a dealer’s site. Sounds like you have received good advice to replace it with a non-wood option.

POST 4Original post

I have the same issue but with AC vents. I am looking at hydrodipping the parts. I saw it done on wheeler dealers, check around locally. It would make it look like it was original but at a fraction of the price. Good luck.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Neverheard of Hydrodipping....but I'll look into it for sure...ty!

POST 6Original post

This is spot on: " I am told to simply get rid of the bad wood.....replace it with standard stock Graphite gry stuff"

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes......I agree....it really is only one area, drivers side to the rear...actually 90 pct hidden by the seat back. I've decided to use my good old Drummel tool, shape it nicely to look correct as possible glue it down nicely, .....and i've called my paint guy in to color match the graphite gry interior and spray the exposed under console area that is exposed.......I love the look of the wood.....and it's only original once, right? Thanks for the replys......have a great weekend!

POST 8Original post

Look in Hemmings, 3-4 places that do wood refinish/repair. I had a MB wood inlay redone for a MB many years ago, wasn't to expensive.
