If I had several hundred dollars to blow on an interior, I'd get a really nice pair of seats. If my seats were already nice (or I had less than several hundred dollars), I would just get a nice steering wheel and/or stereo/speakers. I like to keep it simple and factory-like. Just replace anything that's broken or worn out.

Car is 55,000 miles. Seats are great. Tan/interior. Thinking gauge face and amp. Cup Holders? New Mats ? Light window tint.

Floor mats go a long way toward improving an interior and they're easy. Maybe get the door arm rests upholstered in leather?

I'm sorry I'm just not a interior-spiffing-up kinda guy so I'll just sit back and watch now!

I think the stainless gear **** insert and door sills update the car and still keep it looking stock, or, at least something Porsche does on current models.

Ooh, yeah, I like those! Definitely want a steel shift cap with the shift pattern, and I've seen the chrome (or stainless?) door sill covers that read "PORSCHE" on them on a buddy's car and they look great.

do 928 sport seats fit into 951/968 cars? They are REALLY comfortable seats.

Did 928 ever have Linen interiors? I need to keep an eye out for a set of 928 seats!

I like the Club Sport coin cubby instead of the hinged cassette lid cover.

About the CS coin tray - do you ever get stuff sliding out on hard turns? Or do you just not put anything in there?

I keep my armrest packed with stuff, like.... actually I can't remember what the heck I keep in there. I bet it's a bunch of useless junk I could get rid of!

Gregg, if you like LEDs you could buy LED bulbs for the map light and trunk light.

So, you like to see your spare change and convertible top release handles? My 951 cab came with holders for these inside the armrest tray. Did yours?
