" I contacted Porsche classic , unfortunately the company has stop manufacturing carbon fiber dash trims and panels ,"

Well fancy that, Porsche Classic have dumped CF....................................wow! wonder why!

Perhaps it's dawned upon them that it is so 2005, it cracks , is not repairable and eventually looks like ****.

Got to agree with that. Looks cheap and nasty to my eye. But, whatever turns you on...

Repent at leisure? It's your car and your choice, but all that carbon fibre really doesn't do it for me.

amrkaki.

Fine wood interior looks classy, CF interior not so much.
To me its like vandalising a work of art.
And the wood interior must be pretty rare - now, one less!
Disappointed

I think it looks good. I would spend the extra money and get the OEM style center console switch covers and the door pulls with the Porsche lettering. I think it would pull together everything nicely with the OEM look.

The carbon fiber is a step up. Clearly superior to the wood.
Wood in my S600 looked great.
In my Dad's Jaguar: great.
In a Porsche: screams 'tacky nouveau poseur', at maximum volume.

Carbon can be overdone, like anything. Had you the opportunity to use somewhat less, perhaps it would be better; I wrestle with the same question in my 996. But you had a lot to replace.
Anyone who disagrees is welcome to coat the entire interior of their own Porsche with notcarbon fiber.

PS: I think you've done a spectacular job with your interior. Very tasteful.
Mine came with OEM carbon; I replaced several of the ticky-tacky soft paint parts with DB Carbon replacements.
