Paul, I remember what your car looked like the last time I saw it and it was fantastic...
Always with the very cool mods... the two tone looks good and the CF pieces look killer!

Wikipedia says that the "rich Corinthian leather" was really from Newark.

OP, what's next on the mod list? GT3 seats?

That was a pretty nice High School car (especially for that era) ! I especially like the Cragar SS wheels...

To be fair, it was a rust bucket that taught me a lot about panel repair and body filler. And I was in high school in the late 90s, so she was definitely a "spectacle."

I have graphite grey interior too, but with Black mats, which really pop (car is black). What you've done looks great, but black mats would add to the contrast, IMO.

That is too funny! Guess I must get some 968 mirrors for the 951!

Mine was an 89 S2. Sold it to buy the 996. According to Suncoast those were the last set of factory aero mirrors in the US.

Completed some more interior upgrades. Sent my steering wheel, center console side pieces, shift **** and sunvisors to carsdream.com in Poland. Found them on ebay.de.

Had them all recovered in Alcantara, it was $532 euros ($595 US) including return shipment of the parts to me. I sent them out via the USPS, it was about $80 to ship them over.....so a little less than $700.

Wow! They are nice!!! The steering wheel was completely covered. It used to be grey....now it's the light black alcantara....same as my headliner. I LOVE the sun visors....that's pretty much the best upgrade.....and the shifter is cool because it has stiching on both the front and back of it vs. the factory one which has stiching only on the back part of it.

A few pictures....they aren't very good, but you get the point.....and I had the steering wheel made a little thicker.....oh so nice!

The leather center console and shift boot looks great. Where did you purchase the console and the alcantara blue stitched shift boot? I am interested in these upgrades as well.
