IF they make thee surrounds for around the gear lever and the seat vent / heat switches, I will buy a set! That Piano finish is destined to be mega scratched.

Ditto - I wonder if they could match the matte carbon fiber trim? Maybe if we could tally how many are interested, we could write and ask for production. Shall I take a poll?

Yes, take a poll; I just also sent them an email; Would be good to know the opportunity.

I have aftermarket CF parts on my 992 and a I asked manager about interior parts.
He told me it's impossible to make finish and color like OEM

I would love to see a carbon or leather option to replace the piano black. I ordered carbon trim in my Targa.

Beautiful! Which ones are covers vs replacement parts? Looks like the rounded one is for the Sport Chrono clock, yes? And the triangles go on the outside on the door near the mirrors? I love the idea of replacing parts, but I don’t want to add more weight. Thanks for the link, too! Might have to spring for that rear diffuser.

@Airbus Raider the mirror covers look like real CF; The other pieces look very fake I.e. covered in CF film, rather than actual CF. Does it look better in person? Does it match the interior CF?

All parts are real carbon. I’m not a fan of fake carbon vinyl. It matches with interior CF (about 90%).

I’ll take the 90% over scratches on piano black trim.

That hyper glossy lacquer finish is outdated. Matte carbon is a better look, IMO.

Agree.
Exterior look nice with gloss
Interior look much better with matte

Gloss makes sense on the exterior.
