Default 911 dummy buttons fix

Why is it that my GTI has quality dummy buttons (still with the metallic trim intact) yet Porsche gives us the flat black look? It would look nicer if we still could get the metallic spacer in between the buttons.

And when are we going to get an icon on our PSE button that doesn't look like binoculars?

Crap! You did it to me too! Now I'm going to see those missing metallic strips every time I look down. Here I was perfectly content...

I'll see what else I can find. LOL

It would be nice just to have some uniformity, that's all. I wonder if they make blank buttons with the metallic trim. Hmmmmm.

Those buttons are due to be replaced by smudgable glass next year or so.

If you mess with them now it will render your car "not original" and its value will plummet in the classics market in 2025

BTW the problem is worse on the 991.2 My new car has two more empty buttons since the Sport and Sport Plus are on the steering wheel dial selector.

There should be an ejection seat button for those that ask about missing logos on the console. That and a indicator light for when the rear wing is fully deployed. While I'm at it why not have button for the interior lights or a button for smoke screen and oil slick. Too 007 guess.

Since the parking brake is electronic why can't the button be in the center console instead of down by my shin?
