On principle, I don't give my cash to people who have that mentality. We're part of the US, you don't want to ship? I'll keep my money. I've had this discussion with many parts stores when for a small items they insist on shipping UPS (to Alaska) for the same or more than the item costs rather than in a "if it fits it ships" USPS box. Your corporate strategy? Plenty of other places to shop. Through the years what with customers in Hawaii as well, some have changed, for the rest I avoid them.

Thank you @Drew46 , let me think on it as I'm wondering whether with the red bezel it might be overkill. Interested in opinions

@siberian to me, the red 'ring' along with the red bezel would be overkill. To me, it would look like a Fountain powerboat dashboard with all the bezels and colors and whatnot. Pick one or the other.

Is that aftermarket or OEM? I can’t tell from this angle.

Are those the changaderros that eliminate wind buffeting? If so, will you report if they are effective? Thanks.

Those look like carbon fiber mirror housings.

The units that eliminate wind buffeting are the pieces that replace the little triangles at the front corner of the windows. The AWE versions work very well. I had them on my 991.1 (one of the first batch made) and I installed them on my 992 in the first week.

Brianja is correct.

Something for the weekend!
I had a set on my 991.2 and liked them well enough to buy another set for this car. I'm hoping the brake and clutch pedals go a little quicker this time around. The video makes it looks so easy but I had a heck of a time getting the bottom screws threaded on both. It was bit frustrating but worth the effort in the end. If you're thinking of these, they are very nice, especially the gas and dead pedal over the stock plastic.

Of course, reading through this thread I'm thinking of the red sport chrono ring from eBay...

Looks OEM to me. It's definitely not the DB Carbon replica, which doesn't have the intake scoop that's visible on the lower part of the wing from this angle. See here for that one: https://rennlist.com/forums/992/1325...orsepower.html

Please give us a update on ease (or difficulty) of installation on your second time around. Thanks.

I have these as well. The quality blows away the stock pedals and they really add to the pedal feel. If you have big feet the added size of the gas pedal is a big bonus.
