Sorry ..but the pink / beige color combo makes me want to puke !!!

Actually, that's a Rennlisters car. I haven't seen him post here in this forum for close to a year. A close up of his yellow console and red interior was his avatar. It was a black 996 Turbo if I recall.

Actually it is painted. Check out the option when you order it from the factory called "factory painted center console". Remove the center console, flip over and you will find out very quickly that it is painted to match the exterior not molded plastic in that color. Now that would be harder to match that actually using the paint code for your car.

Having said that.....beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If u love it...the it's cool !!!

LVDell, I am not going to remove it and flip it over--then I probably will wind up scratching it!! But, I'll take your word for it. I also do recall the option being called "painted" console. But, it does feel and appear more durable than a painted sheet metal surface. It seems durable like the side mirrors, which I have scratched against the side of the garage (on other past cars!) to no avail....Maybe I am just trying to talk myself out of becoming too neurotic about scratching this console now!

LVDell

You are too funny statman. Totally understand. I am the same way. Agree with you on the durability of the console. I have the factory painted alumalook center console. Very hard like the paint on the car. I think it is very hard to damage it.

By the way, if you don't mind me asking the significance of your userID? (stats guy myself)

I am a professor of statistics at the University of Wisconsin. My license plate on my 997S is "STATS."

I guess we are getting off topic, but what is your connection to the field of statistics?

LVDell

Stats prof myself (Ph.D. in Research Methods). I teach at both UNLV and the local CC. What a small world.

holy ****
I used to creep the flat-6 forums - i remember one guy bragged about a similar eff'd up colour combo....

You guys are very brave stats profs, I must say; unless - of course - you don't take your p-cars to school. At many universities, the cars of statistics professors are at the risk of, uhm, becoming the targets of slightly irritated students?

Marketing professor myself, so I'm safe.

I drive my 81 Z to campus most of the time. Most students don't have a clue what that car is nor what it means to me. Had somebody stop and ask me if it was some new sports car. I said, yeah it's the new Z from 1981!

Besides, driving that Z is a blast and an experience that is hard to explain. Totally rear drift.

OCBen

Probably a lot like my daily driver, my '85 Z.

LVDell

Sweet ride Ben! Any pics?

Soulteacher

By the way, Ben, since we are way off topic anyway... I have easily done a 100+ searches since I started scouring this forum, and you have been clearly the one contributor I benefited most from. No kissing *** here, but I thought that if we had to pay you a dime for each incidence of help you give, you could definitely afford your new house.

You bet. They're at home though. I'll see if I can remember to post them. I was thinking of posting a few in that thread on self car washing. Wanted to show off what a 20+ yr old car looks like after never having anyone else but me wash it by hand. But I thought, nahhh.
