If this is part is the stock 991.2 OEM piece has anyone checked if Porsche offers the full array of colors? Suncoast only has a few options. I would consider it if I could match my Pebble Grey with the Porsche crest.

Default Exclusive Option 991.2 Extended Height Leather Armrest Lid Option


This is a popular upgrade for those with 991.1 models because this armrest unit is not only raised for better comfort, but storage is also increased because of extra height. A new bottom hinge/under lining is needed for this conversion. This is an opportunity to add matching Stitching to the center console area for most 991.1 and 981 models.

We can provide all 991.1 and 991.2 color combinations as well as Alcantara Options. Special request combinations also available. Please inquire for details.

Great write up and instructions. I finally got around to doing this, and it was as easy as Shagin suggested. Only thing I screwed up was the clips on the seat belts, as both of them broke on me.

As others have suggested, this is a great opportunity to clean under the rear seats. I found an alarming amount of food crumbs down there considering nobody is supposed to eat in the 911...

Seriously. Might be better to just prop the lid open with something to get 2-3”.

Hi

Anyone has done this in Carrera (Garnet) Red leather?
Would the armrest in Bordeaux Red leather be out of place in Carrera Red interior?
opinions & photos are much appreciated..

Default Is the extended console lid really worth it?

I have myself been thinking very seriously for a year about putting one of these extended console lids in my 981 but was wondering if it is really worth it. Of course, I love the crest in it but my question is it more comfortable while driving?. Is the extended console softer then the original one?
