I'm sold on painting the center console. Should have done it years ago. Big improvement from rubbery plastic console. Just have to finish painting the plastic piece that sits at the bottom of the emergency brake handle and the center console is done.

Thanks man! They really are awesome seats. You wouldn't think it, but they are very comfortable. About to make my annual trek to Phila from chicago to see the family. Good chance to enjoy the 996. But I bought the seats back in 2006, before prices got out of control. Plenty of other more affordable options available that do the same thing.

Thank you - ordered. My problem is the center emblem gets unglued and falls out. Two are missing. I guess that's what happens to everyone.

Yes, the glue has reached end of life. The other ones will go missing shortly.

Finished a full suspension refresh... Koni Active shocks, Eibach springs, every arm and bushing replaced, Carrera III wheels from a 997, 7mm spacers in front, 15mm in rear and titanium wheel bolts.

Just need an alignment and then I'm back in business.
