Swapped out the leather shift boot for a alcantara one to match the seats


Got my hands on a blank cover since the 997 seats isn't heated.
Looks a lot cleaner



And new tail pipes and new heat shields has arrived to do the mark 2 rear bumper. So doing that that later this week
Looking sharp!

Final result:


And fitted back into the car, super happy with the result and quite happy with it since I don't have any prior experience

Nicely done! I also have the PCCM+ and ended up hiding the box behind HVAC and storage box. It looks a bit cleaner. I also used a wireless AA / Carplay transmitter hidden back there so now I can just throw my phone in the shelve and it all works seamlessly.

Nice. Where did you source your cover? I imagine it would be hard to sew for yourself but some people do it.

Thanks! I sourced it from Redlinegoods

Took the girl out for a nice two hour drive today, fall is here and soon we will have snow. Might as well drive it as much as possible

Very nicely done. Everything is so tasteful, those 997 seats look great.

Thanks! OEM+ is my goal
The seats are great, definitely on of my favourite upgrades so far. Better seating position and everything

Did some minor interior upgrades today, got some alu rings for the cluster.
Great upgrade and makes the interior feel just a little bit more premium

Before, all black
After:


Ties in the pedals, handels and even the cupholder:

It all just looks so good! Nice work on the cosmetics. People usually go overboard and show how bad (imo) their style is lol. You absolutely nailed it.
