I think there would be a look of interest in carbon fiber center console (like what the 996/997 has)...esp if it was the "bat phone" type and could accommodate a NAV unit or additional gauges

now thats an idea...sized to fit guages and/or nav unit + valentine one remote, yet more narrow than the bat phone console.
maybe flared out to the pass. side so as not to infringe on drivers knees

also, what about a boost guage for the center dash like the sport chrono

Alvin, I'd be interested in the CF Ducts w/o lights and also with lights. It all depends on $$$.

Thanks! Not sure if I'm ready to cut a hole on the top of my dash but it looks like you could mount this either under the dash or to the side of the center console (although not the best place to mount a gauge you look at)

Alvin - What about the standard CF pieces? I've been regretting it ever since I sold my full set from Marcus, especially now that the dollar resembles Monopoly money compared to the Euro.

+1....I would buy a set if the price was reasonable (which is relative I guess since we are talking about Porsches...and carbon fiber!)

Removing weight from the heaviest part of the car makes the most sense to me, although I'm sure the price won't be cheap.
