Thanks Dan, if anyone would like to order we can check your VIN to ensure you get you the right color.

Second here regarding the "wood"...

the wood is fine in my opinion.

the red steering wheel is just awkward, especially when combined with the wood. That I don't care for.

i have to agree, the steering wheel looks very nicely done but it clashes with the wood. if the console was red instead of wood it would look far better

Sell your Porsche and buy a jag if you like the wood look, personally I don't think it goes in a Porsche but if you like it then who am I to tell you different!

I am in the process of refreshing my interior as well. Replacing an aftermarket radio with a double din nav unit, I am going with the stock look, painting all the scratched plastic including console, right side sill bin, left side frunk, hood and memory switch housing in black to match the original look. It is amazing that such expensive cars have painted interior surfaces that just do not hold up. I admire you seeking your vision, don't let the naysayers get you down. It's your car, enjoy.

Oh, look. Atrox posted the puking R2-D2 (again). He's so original.
You are in desperate need of some new material.

Yeah, but you also think the Boxster concept car looks good, so you clearly have zero aesthetic taste.

Wood in a Porsche is tacky, but like others said, it's all about what you like.

Interesting, but if I where you, I would save that center console and air bag if you want to sell it to buyers like me.

The boxster concept car looks better than the soft *** **** they ended up with. No wonder its a chick car.



look at that, wood on a 64 911. Must have been tacky then too.

Its a grand touring car, there is nothing wrong with some wood.
