That looks fabulous! Someday... I will have my center console covered in cocoa like that. I can live without leather fuse box cover, vent slats, steering column cover, etc. but the soft touch paint has started to come off my console a little bit, so time is running out for me.

@myw It was, tied in beautifully with the center console, dash trim, and vent surrounds. Missed opportunity on the steering wheel though.

That was exactly my problem as well - the center console has become a little bit of an eyesore in an otherwise great place to sit

I opted out to the detail guys, figured they were better equipped.
I was too lazy, and that angle would kill my back after both of them.
Learned my lesson removing rear window tint that I thought would sort of peal out - nope. 1,000 1/4" chips. F that again.
Looks great!

Time for more mods - you've got 2 quadrants open

Coming attractions: Bilstein, TPC, RSS, Function First...

When I built our Cayenne I thought about doing exactly that under the hood, but never got to it.

I assume you're cutting these on a Silhouette or similar craft machine by scanning the logo and have it donthe vinyl cutting?

If so, you can also make your own gaskets out of whatever material you want. I've done 928 water bridge gaskets out of silicone, 928 CV joint to trans gaskets out of rubberized cork, etc.

Used adhesive silicone sheet and reverse printed the image for 2 of them so I could stick the 2 adhesive sides together to form a thicker gasket

No 😭

Had some surgery and can't work on anything like that until October. Recovering fine though. Haven't done anything since the last update a few weeks ago.

Ditched the PDK Flappy Paddles for Momo GT3 Cup wheel and 917-style wood shifter. Pushes you to drive the car more like a manual. I never drive the car in auto mode!! If I could ask for one thing, it would be to reverse the manual shift +/- direction, but seems that's not possible. So have retrained my (old) mind to work this new way, I'm getting there slowly.
