I got my 997.2 last September and I have been wanting to make it looks nicer inside. While looking at the shops online (Suncoast & Exclusive Option), as I am based in Finland (not a country welcome cars with those taxes...) I asked around and found a shop used by a few people here including Porsche.
I have them cover the console between the seats (and the small ashtray in the back) and PDK surrounding, the pieces surrounding the windows switches & mirror control as well as sunroof.
Thinking what to do next. Maybe A-pillar? I do want to change all the trims to Silver. I initially wanted to redo the whole car with white stitching but the price was a bit over budget (for now)
I am curious to see what you did to your cars if you went down that route.
If you haven't done it already, the left and right trim pieces on either side of the hvac/radio controls is a must (and easy). I also did the door sills covers where the frunk button is.
I am curious to know how much did you pay to wrap the center console in leather? Here in the US, it costs like $980 for Classic9 leather shop to do it. But I am not very fond of multiple leather pieces stitched together. So I went with the original used console instead for $1,500 (took me 3-4 years to find one). I have the side window switch panel in leather as well. I am looking for a leather steering wheel housing to complete my interior leather project. The final leather piece I've been searching for is finally here.

Aren't the side of the HVAC and radio already in leather if you have your dashboard made of leather from factory?
I paid $2.5k for everything but indeed there is more than 1 piece of leather.
Visors, steering surround and the rest of the dashboard are great ideas.
For the door seal, no risk of being damaged by climbing in and out of the car?

That Center Console work looks very good - Nice clean job!
Curious, did you remove the parts and give them to the shop? If so, how hard were the door spears to remove and install (the window switch pieces)? I've heard that they're not the easiest things to swap.

Nope I just gave them the whole car. Took a bit over a week because they are shipping some parts to Estonia.
I am considering changing seats but I want something comfy...
