996 Product Ideas

Great to see the interesting ideas in this thread - potentially a big market for hot rod type products for the 996 line.
Would love to see a lightweight door panel - like your RS panels

but for the 996
here's a couple examples found online:

My response:
1.) Carbon fiber or aluminum constructed radiator expansion tank to finally end the infamous leaking plastic spit...., spit...... tank..... or design one that is relocated to the front near the radiators or perhaps making the center radiator smaller and having expansion tank near it so that could be removed and installed without all the excitement of replacing the current nightmare.
2.) Silicone hose kits, one for the engine area and the other for the radiators, and an auxiliary kit for the center radiator and offer them in colors besides black.
3.) Carpet kits that offer factory and other colors, a lightweight carpet kit, and quality adhesives.
4.) Replacement frunk and engine lid levers made of aluminum to replace those easily scratched and destroyed levers of the early 996's
5.) Auxillary oil cooler or a more efficient cooler considering that the current versions are of the twenty-year engineering concept

Agree with all. Heck, all of us are generally looking for a way to update the interior so anything you can produce would be helpful.
Doors, center console, lower console, instruments.
Another thought, but I don't have the skills to make a design recommendation is to think about the 2016 911 R, which did an interesting thing with the engine lid, they made the center piece black. It actually looked very cool. Consider a carbon fiber piece for the 996 that can replace the center on our decklid. Haven't seen a computer driven mock-up on a 996, so dont know how it would look, but it looks good on the 911 R. It may be a nice compliment to other carbon fiber parts you sell now for the exterior and may be producing in the future.
Thanks for reaching out to us.

How about offering an alcantara steering wheel wrap service?

My console delete has a built-in phone mount: I tuck the bottom edge of my phone into the gap at the front edge of the plastic trapezoid trim piece. Then lean the phone against the carpeted face of the delete panel.
iPhone 6S has stayed put through inappropriate street maneuvers; turn it 'upside down' if you need to charge as you go-- the plug practically works as a pin to the carpet. Best of all, there's not a trace of the mount unless you're using it!
