I believe he was going to make them at the same time. The delay could be a U.S. postal service issue - since the brilliant move by our chief executive, mail is now taking longer to travel here - at least a day. We no longer have a government here; it's a cult.

May I ask why you did matte interior carbon? Was it to match pre existing carbon from Porsche? I have the factory gloss mirrors. And I dont understand why Porsche did matte carbon interior parts with gloss mirrors. It looks great either way. I'm just curious on your choice reasons.

It wasn’t my choice to produce in all the After market interior trims in Carbon Matte but Daniels from DB carbon and I believe it was a very good decision. It matches the factory Carbon matte and I think it will blends well into interior. If it were a Gloss finish like the exterior pieces it would just look out of place against all the other textures and finishes the car comes with IMO. Gloss carbon against the gloss/clear coat on the cars paint just works 🤷‍♂️

I’m waiting patiently for my car to arrive so I can have everything fitted for you guys to see...honestly the wait is killing me...99 days left on the clock 😩

For that reason, I deleted all OEM CF trim (went with Leather trim), and added DB Carbon's gloss CF steering wheel, mirror caps, and now extended gear paddles

That is actually a really good Idea...you can get all the plush leather surrounds and pick the carbon gloss pieces you like from DB carbon...wish I had though about that back in June 🙁.....strong reason to upgrade sooner lol

I received mine today and took them right out to the car to see how they match. Well, they look 100% factory. Simply amazing.

Now I need to write to Daniel as I am not sure how to install the pieces around the manual shift boot. Am I supposed to pry it off then put those down?

I’ll post photos when installed.

Yes please do! Did you get matte black? I see they have exterior pieces also. Thinking of how they would look on my car the front bumper piece and rear difusser in CF? Matte? Gloss? I have the gloss black mirrors as an option? Hmmm.....yes would like to see pics guys for sure.

Placed my order on 18 Sept for the black plastic parts in the front and rear fascia - Daniel said they'd be here in mid-November. Very excited to have parts that match the CF mirrors and roof on my 992. Will post pics after I get them and after install.

Yes, the interior pieces are matte to match the OEM interior. I am not sure how the exterior CF looks on the 992. I would think you would want gloss finish on your exterior to match your other exterior parts.

To confirm what Dan wrote: I have CF interior and CF exterior factory parts. Interior is matte black, exterior is gloss black.
