Dear Community

I need your help, I decided to upgrade all the plastic in my 993 turbo cause it was all faded brown. I ordered the lower center console cover from Porsche Genuine parts (part number: 99363207118) and keep receiving directly from Porsche NOS Parts, which are all dated 1997 and completely oxidized brown!! Its the 4th exchange item I have received now. Can anyone help me source the cover?

Its the 6G Model

Icons are:
Electric sun roof, blank, rear windscreen wiper

Any help acquiring a modern production thats is crisp black is greatly appreciate, cause I‘m at my whits end.

 

I am the second owner of my car and I thought these parts were originally brown. I ordered a rear storage tray from Suncoast Porsche (the part that goes behind the handbrake) and it was black. I was wondering "why is this bloody part black?!".

 

The surround with no circuit board in it is available aftermarket but it might be easier to buy one for a C2 and swap your board over, the 99363207114 is fitted to 98% of 993 and hopefully wont be from 1997!

 

Sadly not possible cause of the back lit Icons on the cover that are specific to the options the car has, aka I dont have rear spoiler.

 

Bugga, ok, maybe paint of some sort?

 

The orignal parts were always slightly brown and not true black. Dead give away if they've been replaced. Some people actually look for these "brown" parts for originality.
Just my opinion, don't replace them, they aren't faded.

 

Try some 303 spray UV protectant. I did mine 17 years ago and turned plastic more black and kept it that way. 303, and before that Armor All, have kept my 52-year-old 260Z dash pristine as the day it came out of the factory, and it has spent decades parked at beaches
