No I had the dealership replace all the black plastic and gear shift **** with OE parts. It really detracted from the over all rest of the interior that is in good shape. I think the previous second owner that I bought it from had a child seat and the toddler's feet damaged the center console area! I had an offer of $900 dollars to respray it but I was told by the gentleman that was offering the service that it was subject to the same fate. So why do that?

Nice interior on your White 996. I'm guessing the plastic console may be easier to keep nice than my body-colored console option. Mine's still perfect, but one little scratch of the paint, and it would be immediately evident.
As long as you don't place a child in the front seat to kick it with his/her feet you should fine
Also gil I get it why you put black floor mats in your car but it's to dark IMHO. I think by the condition of your car that you should be able to handle the factory colored mats!

The lighting can be misleading. The floormats are Porsche dark blue to try to match the midnight blue exterior and console.

It looks like a new car again inside to me.
That's crazy cool that you could still get new interior trim parts from the dealer.
It is crazy cool. In fact I had this repair done over other issues that need to be addressed because I was so concerned about the availability of these interior parts on such an older car. I still need a major service, motor mounts, coolant expansion tank, rear spoiler actuator, or whatever it's called. So I'm not driving it much. But I should have all the rest done by August if my credit card doesn't start of fire first. It was such a great distraction to the interior for what is over all a very nice example of a 2001 C4. Some of the parts had to come from the warehouse in Germany. Good catch on your part because the comment was a concern of mine too! I also had to replace the rear-view mirror because it was de-laminating along the bottom edge.
FYI I posted these parts on this website but so far no takers.
I actually like the "egg" look but I was just curious how you did it. I think it would be cool to have the option of changing the look here and here. Please tell how it was done...
I bought the headlight cover from a fellow member here. Although see I saw a link/thread here where pelican parts has started to offer them for sale as well.

Did they come that color, or did you need to paint?
