Nice quality paint job. That is the color of the interior? Please post a pic when they are installed.

OUTSTANDING. Can't wait to see them after the install. What color is the balance of your interior?

The interior is graphite grey with the factory deviating carpet color option in metropol blue. The center console and seat backs were painted midnight blue (the exterior color) from the factory. These pieces will match those in the same exterior color. The window switch cubby is the M580 non-smoker option one, I am replacing my ashtray one with this one.

Looks great! I have been on the fence about how much color I want to add to the interior. Currently it is all black except for the center console I painted. Really interested to see how it looks in your car.

Taking the side vents apart was interesting. The ducts are ultrasonically welded to the housing...cut them very carefully with a series of very sharp x-acto knives. The guide tabs remained intact so I should be able to slide them back together then hit them with a dab of epoxy.

Please post interior pics after install, I'd like to do something similar on mine, with same interior and exterior colors to your car. Currently I only have the center console painted to match the exterior color. Thanks,

Looking forward to seeing both your Spyder and Carrera. Are you planning to attend the Poudre Sports Car's 45th Anniversary on the 10th? I plan on attending.

I should be able to be there. With the Porsche. The Corvair is still laid up awaiting new cylinder heads.

Hi Guys I started installing the parts today. I am still waiting on the non-smokers power outlet to come in that I ordered so I have not put the upper center console in yet. I also decided to send the instrument cluster bezel out to be painted blue as well, since mine was scratched up and they are not sold individually from Porsche (you have to buy the entire cover for $$$).


Here's some pics from today...
