Hey guys,

Looking at a red 991.2 4s that has the whole interior trim pieces painted guards red, I'm interested in the car although I find this pretty intense lol.

how difficult and $$$$ is it to replace the interior trim with the aluminium one? also, the front bumper has been drilled to put a licence plate, is that difficult to repair?

Thanks

Ian



you can't see it but the door trim is also red

Ian - most of the pieces are available through Suncoast - Suncoast Porsche. Take a look here and you will get a pretty good idea.

Thanks Shammerman,

it's not too bad, do you know if it's hard to DIY install those trim pieces?

Not 100% sure, but I think the door trim pieces might be more of a pain to change out. You might need a whole new door card, which could get pricey.

Door trim is a pain as I don't believe it can be easily removed (unlike the other trim parts) without damaging the door panel.
Some guys just glue a trim part over it, but it's not the same.

You are right, painted interior (esp. brighter colours) is intense.....

The trim pieces on the dash are fairly easy using a trim pull. I trade my silver ones for leather. The door panels would need to be pulled. I have seen some adhesive carbon fiber that would fit over the door panel without taking them off, and some have said it looks good. You might ask the dealer about them trading out the pieces...

I saw an orange Targa for sale with the same interior treatment - I passed.

I would agree with this - vents primarily are a bit too much for me. Otherwise, in a black interior, I think it looks wicked! Very cool.

so the vents are easy to change?

I pulled the side vents easily to put in the Musicar tweeters, but didn't pull the center vent. Try looking on YouTube.

The console trim piece is super easy to replace, it just pops out. I changed mine to leather. Also, the side vents are super easy to pull out. I also had to do it for the tweeter upgrade.

I honestly have no idea. But I am a fan of the painted interior trim - nice contrast in an all-black interior. But the vents are a little over the top for me.

I have a sapphire blue painted interior (no vents, though, and none around the HVAC controls). I went with GT silver seatbelts to match the deviated GT silver stitching.

Dealer is changing out my red leather dash etc for Carbon Fibre as we speak. Did the same in my last car. Takes not time/not expensive.
