I have tried so hard to find this but no luck...I ended up meeting one of the German Porsche reps, and through a special arrangement sent my PCM and other stuff to factory to retrofit the Alu Look PCM kit to match the alu look large interior I have.
I think Eric at Bumper Plugs might have it but not sure...Porsche is somewaht **** on giving out this code and ordering exclusive parts without a VIN (Also wante the "turbo" center bin lid and had to beg for that too!!!)

so it IS possible to buy a PCM2 painted in the alu look?

do you have to buy one first and have it painted?

or do they sell it like that?

i really wanted to get this after seeing a picture of an interior with full alu-look down the center

Moogle - you can only get the alu look PCM when you order a new car...I was lucky enough to meet one of the big selection execs who was visiting here (Saudi Arabia) on one of his trips and told him about my frustration...I showed him my window sticker and told him that my car arrived at port 2 days before a lot of the new custom tailoring options were available...
This was a special case and they really did it as a favor as my family is one of the top Porsche customers here...
I think Eric at Bumperplugs has the paint code now and he can do any parts in alu look...definitely better cause I had to pay duties both ways on my PCM and other parts...Not cheap!!
Also, supposedly if you take the face off your PCM II to have it painted or something (or take it apart for any reason) you void your warranty on it

Its spot on for Aluma look factory parts ya'll!! If you want better pixs I will do it if requested, but take my word Its a match! Couldn't be Happier! BTW I am parting with these handles. The paint cost me almost $100 I will sell the handle pair for $150 plus shipping which cant be more than $15 to the Continental USA shipping is based on distances of destination as fair as possible. Check me out on eBay maidenfiend31. I know trading, so buy with confidence!

I have the Alu look interior. It was a rare option. Seeing vents in the Alu look is a very nice touch. Most people comment on how nice it makes the car appear.
