I had Xenons on the C4S that I drove for 17,000 miles, then LED on the last two. I find no discernible difference. Yes, the LEDs are a bit brighter but the Xenons are bright enough.

Hello Mike,
I ordered the clear LED markers from my local dealership 8 weeks ago, as soon as I got my TTS. They submit the order and two weeks later, the left shows up but the right never showed a status in their system until last week, and is now expected to arrive next week. Parts people were baffled that their system showed several left ones but not right, until now. I figured no-one will notice the discrepancy on the car (until I posted here!) so I drove the TTS and now the GT3 with non-matching side markers.

Are these LED clear side markers GT3 specific? Will they also fit non GT 991's??
I just got clear corners from Sunset. Different part numbers and not LED.
TIA.

Sam,
Love the car, love the red carbon fiber. Did you put the red carbon fiber on the metal trim piece on the interior door? Can you please post a picture of that? If didn't put carbon fiber there, can you post a picture of the dash that includes the trim on the door?
Thanks in advance

Having trouble uploading the video to the forum, youtube and vimeo. I don't upload videos so if anyone has advice on what issue may be causing the error, would love to hear it. It's a go pro shoot, 1080 HD video saved in iPhoto and am using a Mac.

I didn't. I wanted to but wasn't sure they could do it. This is why I ordered leather trim, knowing I would sacrifice the leather trim that's on the console but didn't want to have red CF on console clashing with aluminum look trim on doors, so my doors look like full leather/alcantara. There is a small plastic insert under the door handles; I sent those to be covered in red CF, along with the clock cover.
I like red stitching on the GT3. However, when you spec red stitching, the doors end up with 4 different colors and fabrics, (Black leather, red stitching, grey alcantara, and the aluminum long trim piece), and those 4 colors/textures are too busy IMHO. I would prefer to only replace the long aluminum door trim piece with leather, but you can't do that according to my dealer.
You can order the leather interior trim package, which changes the aluminum trim piece to leather AND also changes the aluminum trim piece along the dashboard to leather.
So I was thinking of ordering the leather interior trim package, and then putting a carbon fiber wrap on over the dashboard/cupholder trim and the center console trim, just as you had done. However, your red carbon fiber wrap takes things to another level. Excellent work thinking of that!
Could you please post a fairly closeup picture of your car, where half of the shot is the door and other half is the the dash/cupholder trim? You've created a masterpiece, that I hope to emulate.
P.S.From your previous posts, it sounds like you just pry these pieces off and then mail them to the guy to cover in CF? How do you reattach them?
