I like the "911" logo on the center console batwing. Where'd you get it?

Great job. I did my center console with white and clear from the Autoparts store. So far it has been tough and not scratched.

Got mine from bumperplugs.com about three years ago, it has held up perfectly.

The wood is an OEM Porsche $4000 upgrade plus a $800 upgrade for wood shifter and brake.
Will be changing out to silver and selling OEM WOOD.

Looks very nice.......what was the brand of paint?
Used top grade Pittsburgh (PPG) paint, base coat arctic silver/ clear coat(4000).

how did you do that? does the paint scratch easy?
I have 3 coats of clear, it should hold-up well. Scratches can be buff out.

I like the "911" logo on the center console batwing. Where'd you get it?
This is a cheap aluminum sticker I found on eBay. it works well.

Did you do these yourself?
Yes, everything was done by myself and only used OEM parts, except 911 sticker and silver break and gas peddles.
