Super easy install and makes a huge difference to me. I am not a fan of that piano black that shows every dust particle, but the big advantage is how it integrates with the CF interior. To install, I lifted one corner with my fingernail then inserted a putty knife wrapped in a towel to pry up the corner. Then I just worked around until it all lifted. The DB carbon parts fit absolutely perfectly on the OEM piano black parts. They are very thin, so they don’t appear as as add-on at all. The CF used and the finish are a perfect match. I just can’t believe it.

DB Carbon: kudos for this perfect match!!!!

P.S. The OEM piece is at the bottom on the console, and DB’s are around the seat heater switch and MT boot.

I know, right? Everyone writes how amazing DB Carbon is and glad I finally had an opportunity to try them out. It was a small order for them, but they treated this project like it was their only business. Five stars.

Looks great but since I didn't get the CF interior don't know if parts are avail from DB Carbon to retrofit or how easy that would be. Hmm I may have to reach out.

Yes I've worked with them before swapping out my aluminum sliver parts for CF dash ones on my 991. I think they even took my old parts as core replacements. Wonder if that would be the same with the 992. They are good dudes tho. Nary a bad complaint from anyone on the RL from what Iv'e heard.

Interesting—great to see both matte and gloss.

Either is a huge improvement over the stock :-)

Dan - I think he's asking you. I wondered also what's in that space with "PORSHE" on top - is it a coffee mug?

EDIT: OH NO, it is an ashtray!

Yep, it’s the ashtray. I am not a smoker, but this works great as a hand rest for driving my manual transmission. I also throw loose change in there. Finally, it’s nicely done and looks better than empty tray. And it’s free, lol.

msile, I looked at website which pieces did you order. I want the matt finish, did you contact them directly.
