Trying to upgrade Interior bits
I am trying to modernize the 993 cabin. Truth be told, any excuse to get rid of the beige and inserting black or silver is acceptable at thsi point ;-)
My plan is to redo the carpet, door panels with RS ones, dye the rear seats and rear panels (done it before, looks great), insert aluminum wherever I can (switches, handbrake etc...). Eventually finish it off with 2 sparco milano 2. Easy stuff all around, not too expensive until you get to the actual seats, and it should kick ***! I am having issues planning some of that stuff (it's gonna be a while, they screwed up my property tax payment so I am broke) - and finding parts. Whatever you know might help !
- Hi hi pockets:
I have the Hi fi option. Because of that I am worried about placement in an RS door panel. Some have said it fits, I'd love to see a picture if it's available. I want to see how you solved the look of the dual speakers (the tweeter is easy) through an RS panel, how the speaker dual grill fits or if you used 2 grills instead of the dual speaker grill.
- Panels: I got some response about RS door panels. Cool: 964 units seem to fit 993s. I still would like to hear it from anyone who actually did it on a 993 - where did you get the panel from, do you like it, how is the quality?
- Aluminum window switches:
Am i going nuts ? I could swear I saw them for sale somewhere at some point - I cannot find the ad anymore. I am going through old issues of pano and excellence to no avail ! Do they exist or are they a figment of my imagination ?
- Center console: The price of a CF console from Gert could make a grown man cry. I'm gonna try and dye mine. Unless someone has a cheap black one for sale ?
- aluminum insert handbrake: OK, trying to avoid the $295 from Gert here. Does anybody sell an aluminum insert that would fit /glue on the existing handbrake ? Any vendor ? Seems to me the existing handbrake looks great, but could be vastly improved cosmetically with a $50 insert, either glue on top of surrounding the grabbable part! I bet that does not exist though, right ?
- carpet set comes for hi-fi ?
ShouldI decide to keep (and dye) my door panels, can I recarpet the door pockets if they have the HiFi option ? I know the regular carpet set includes door pockets, but regular ones. I never saw a Hi-fi door pocket option. Have you ?
- SSK: I never thought I wanted a short **** kit until I drove my new commuter, a mini cooper. Now the 993 shifter in action reminds me of rowing ! I want shorter throws, I would not mind more smoothness either ! Will any good kit out there reduce throw without making the ****s too harsh ? Are those Bozo installable ? If so please name one ! ;-)
That's all for now ! Thanks for letting Bozo waste some bandwidth. Of course there should be a story at the end of that project ;-)

Get the real thing, it looks so good. I picked up mint one on auction a few months ago, a crazy deal... Just be patient.
