I'm a fan on carbon and have the factory parts in my car.

I would have done the seat inserts in perforated leather and passed on the non factory carbon on the seats but apart from that you have done very well.

You didn't have a lot of choice on the gear **** and handbrake as the factory parts are no longer available.

Given what you started with I personally find it a huge improvement. I like the CF. To my eye wood is out of place on a sports car. And you can order many different CF interior parts for a new car build. I have a GT4 on order with many of the CF interior options, and many of the new GT cars I have seen have CF trim. Nice job and enjoy!

Suggest getting the seats recovered... they look rough! Oh, I did not see that this was done in the last pix. Looks good!

CF looks hot!

I Just can't seem to justify paying $$$ for that nice interior upgrade when it's purly cosmetic and feel good emotion.
Good point. That's why everyone on this site owns Porsches, with top speeds 2-3x the highest speed limits in the entire world, along with parts and labor that cost 2-3x that of a Toyota, or a Ford. Because logic. Thank goodness none of us ever fell for that 'feel good emotion' nonsense.

Hi Amr, wondering if you still have that wood trim available?

The car looks amazing! Regardless of what others might think about removing the factory wood trim, you have done a great job of restoring the vehicles interior and it is a great visual improvement IMHO.

Default Restoring This Thread

I was thinking about a CF upgrade to my 993 and only saw posts for 2007 and here from 2015.The Direct Car Trim website does not show the CF piece to the right side of the radio, above the glove box.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
