Default Interior Carbon Fiber Pieces?

Looking for interior carbon fiber pieces to mimic the look of the Turbo S.. If anyone knows a source I would apprecaite it...

Tried a few vendors but so far no luck.. Seems most vendors are concentrating on 996 and 997 stuff.

I've been corresponding with "Marcus" in Germany. He has a great rep, and I'm scraping some moola together to make a purchase. I have the factory C/F dash and doors, and he said that his bits will match it very nicely.

Try this email: MarcusBuehler911@web.de

Mention Rennlist for a small discount. The damn strong Euro is killing us here, but the lunatics that we are... who gives a damn?

Marcus is GREAT! I have gotten some stuff from him and it matches the stock CF perfectly. His prices are much better than most as well. He does not take credit cards or Pay Pal, however.

Send me your email and I'll send you his pricelist.

Here is a pic of one of his door handles (I added my own logo) and the stock Porsche door panel.

Also my points to Marcus.
I bought my CF parts from him. He also products these same CF parts to FVD which multiplies prices by 2.. I know because I got identical pictures from FVD than from Marcus

Very nice!! Boy I miss seeing pics of your car!! LOL..

Can you please tell me what seats are those in the pictures? This 993 that is on its way has the supple leather seats so I've been trying to decide if I should try and locate factory sport seats to replace them or go aftermarket..

I want something with leather coverings and yours look very nice in the photos.

I believe TB's seats are the Cobra Misanos. Very nice seats indeed, and I almost pulled the trigger on a pair before I figured out how to get the Ruf seats direct from Koenig.

The beauty of the Misanos is they are the lightest reclinable seat available at around 17kg including Recaro runners (for reference the Recaro Pole postion bucket is 15kg inc runners) -the Koenigs are excellent seats but heavy...
The Misanos are not as "cushy" as factory but have proven comfy enough for a 250 mile stint without stopping.

Toby is correct, the Koenigs are 50lbs with sliders and rails, as opposed to the 37.5 lbs (17Kg) Misanos. On my bathroom scale, the stock, standards seats were 55 lbs with sliders and rails, so I didn't really save any significant weight. For a Ruf, the Koenigs were a slam dunk.

Toby,

Those are beautiful!!!! Ok.. question now is:

1) Where is the best place to buy them what parts have to be purchased to make them install (tracks, etc?)..
2) Are they fully manual? Or do they have power assist movement?

Thanks!! I think I am leaning towards a pair of these.. They look like they will go nicely with the rest of the CF interior I have planned.
