All that gray was making me blue : ( Interior change
When I purchased my 993, damn near everything other than the dash, speaker shelf, seat belts and a few trim pieces were classic gray. I started to think I had moved to Seattle! (No offense intended )
After installing black leather 996 sport seats with yellow stitching, I began looking at the gray vinyl rear seat backs and bottoms, with a certain amount of distain...
Yesterday, a fleabay package arrived from the aformentioned city of Seattle. Contents; black leather seat backs and bottoms, and yes, I am happier now.
OMG! Is that rear seat bottom glue, ever an Elm St., nightmare!
And no more silly asthetic changes. Only performance mods that make sense.

Looks great. I feel the same way about mine, also classic gray. I just put a black 3 spoke wheel in & it makes me want more black.

plastic dash blank
What was/is the intended rectangular switch to the left of the light **** on the dash? The ever-visible plastic blank is a reminder of something left out or off, likely for ROW cars.

...And thank you guys, for your positive comments.
I have been spending some quality time with the car with a recent caliper refresh and color change, brake and clutch slave bleed; and now the wrestling match with the rear seat bottom glue and relatively simple rear seat installation.
See, rainy days are good for many things, including the relief of the Socal drought.
Oh yeah, and some "before" pics...

Nice interior guys. I wonder whether as these cars age there will be a trend to go back to the 4 spoke steering wheel. Still got mine, but hey, that is me ;-)

The 996 wheel is a triple win as compared to the 993 version. Smaller thicker and aesthetically much nicer to look at. Also you get the added bonus of a slighter newer air bag system.
