Default Leather Transmission Tunnel Regrets / Retrofit?

.2GT3RS, specc’d my dream car - got leather and alcantara everything except I skipped the leather transmission tunnel and now I’m having second thoughts. Total OCD/FOMO, I know, is retrofit an option or can someone who has it post pics and tell me whether I’m missing out on anything?

I find myself on Suncoast ordering dumb stuff like contrast stitch leather fuse panels and leather door sill to make up for it. Help!

i ordered it for mine but it’s one of the least ordered options at only ~10%. I’ll try and remember to take a picture when I take the car out next.

It is interesting what everyone perceives as good value. I ordered my Turbo S with leather tunnel and felt it was one of the better value of all the boxes checked...in that it gave to interior a nice dash of luxury for a sensible amount of money by Porsche standards...

Indeed! They called today and they seemingly have everything that CXX offers and more. Time to spend some more money. Thanks everyone!

Default 991.2 GT3RS Tray in Leather

What is distinctive about the 991.2 GT3RS is Porsche changed the design and the tunnel and rear tray are one unit instead of two separate components. Having such a large piece of plastic sit on a refine piece doesn’t lend to the sophistication of the GT3RS.



At Exclusive Option, our design team has taken upon itself to develop a cohesive flow which mimics the Porsche design language and ties together the cabin for a more harmonious balance. This rear tunnel/tray combination is available for 991.2 GT3RS owners only as it is a combined unit- available to be completed in your factory color interior combination or optional Alcantara, this rear tray will fill the missing piece your vehicle desires.



For more information, please contact us via PM or email at info@exclusiveoption.com . This product is currently not available on our website.


991.2 GT3RS Rear Tray in Full Leather with Deviated Stitching (applicable only for 991.2 GT3RS models, for other models, please inquire)

So to be clear, the factory option is the two plastic pieces on the tunnel below the first console area which are changed to leather.

Below are the Leather Rear Cubby Trays usually found in the 991 models (shown alone and installed). The GT3RS has a singular integrating the rear tray and tunnel into one piece. We can produce any color combination spec'd on your vehicle.

Frank at EO has all the kit. He called me the same day I emailed and we talked for over an hour. He’s working with me to build my CXX++ interior. The sky’s the limit. I can’t wait to see that Miami blue leather!
