I have noticed that in many members photos the console looks to be brown not black, what's with this? I guess one could always paint it black with a little Plastikote.

I think those pieces are all brownish, but it shows up more in photos than in real life.

You really can't read, can you?

Additionally, if you wish to replace the board with $50 board from Porsche, please do so. I prefer to continue a 993 forum tradition of finding a good inexpensive solution that is better than OEM and documenting it for the rest of the community.

You can write a detailed email to Tore.B and ask him about the color of plastics on the photo on his page. My educated guess is that they reflect straight-on flash this way.

Quite possibly bromine released from the fire retardant that was added to the plastic? I bought a new parking brake tray the last time I was in the states to test the idea but didn't have a chance before I left.
