Default Interior makeover

Made some changes so thought I would post results. Car stock interior was graphite grey with deviated carpets. Seemed there was just too much grey so I swapped out for a black steering wheel, shifter, console and e-brake handle. Also retrofitted a double din stereo so I have current technology and added coco mats for a bit of a change from carpet or rubber.

my version

It's a stock Porsche item, I had the same shifter in graphite grey that it replaced.

Did you change the carpet on the lower part of the doors? My reason for asking is that I have been thinking of using OEM black carpet on both the floor and door skins as my car has a total leather Boxster red interior as well as OEM lighter red carpets and red steering wheel.

no carpet change, that’s what deviated carpeting looks like

Did that seat swap a couple years ago so I forgot to mention. They are significantly better than the ones they replaced, especially on longer drives.
