Anyone know if this is repairable? Also would matching be an issue due to the unique color of the interior? Any ballparks in cost to fix?

Carlo_Carrera

Yes, that is repairable. The tech will sand down the abrasion and apply a new top coat in a matching color. There are folks who specialize in this sort of stuff and service car dealerships. Like this fellow.

Do a google search in your area or ask a high end used car dealer who they use.

It will likely also get less and less noticeable as the car ages. LIght scuffs on dark leather in particular typically fade especially if you treat them with a light conditioner.

I was just thinking. Wouldn’t a duck tail have given the 50th the rest of the modern retro look?

Anyone out it on their 50th?

Mondrian

Original 911 came without a ducktail and it wasn't till 73 when ducktail appeared on the 2.7RS so given that the 997 club sport also had a ducktail it's safe to say that they are reserved for homage to 73RS and sporty models whereas the 50th was intended as homage to the original 911.

Interesting. I thought I read somewhere that the Fuchs were introduced later than 1963. Guess a ducktail would be too retro.

Mondrian

Correct, fuchs were introduced on the 1967 model year but still from same SWB era, besides I don't think steel wheels on a 2014 car would have been very practical.

One question I should have asked early one but didn't dawn on me until now is, what are things to lookout for or check for on a 50th AE? Or a 991 in general?

3 Questions for the 50th AE collective:

1. Has anyone debadged their 50th? I'm thinking about the "50th 911" badge on the rear. While I like it, it's a bit too much for me. If you've debadged, let's see some pictures. How hard would it be to put the badge back on so that it's lined up correctly if I change my mind later?
2. Is the front chin spoiler the "Sport Spolier Lip" (SKU991SSL from Suncoast)?
3. Pumkins vs. clear corners on a Geyser. At first I liked the contrast from the pumkins. But looking at more pictures online the clears look good as well. And if you go clears, I suspect it should be the LEDs vs. the regular bulbs. Let's see some pictures of your 50ths with clear corners on them!
