Like they say once you travel the mod route, its a slippery slope....time ti have the whole dash done now, and that center pod....then your finished....then again that sunvisor does not match...gotta have that done....hehehehe...it does not stop brother...but i do think is nice. Give the car more class. Accents more than contrasting leather stiching makes the car look "less classier" if you know what i mean.
One day imgoing to ride that leather train.... Its just too damn expensive now...

i did the same thing in my car, but with more CF than leather. It's always nice to find company. I cannot stand the fakish alumalook parts, either.

that hurts my feelings, however, the boss gave me the green light to buy a new black leather console!

may open a can of worms here...shipping and the exchange rate will ruin any semblance of what might have been a good deal, but go to , well, here...

161104384532

that is the article # for one of these on ebay.de...i tried to copy/paste but for some reason it didn't work... there are a couple of others in there as well, hope it helps, don't know whether or not it is a good deal...cheers, kevin

I'm pretty sure ExclusivOption can do it for you if you ask. While you're at it, see if they can do the glovebox handle too. Porsche also offers the climate control and PCM covers in leather, but I'm not sure if possible to order those parts after the fact.

I think your interior looks great! Love all the leather bits, especially the door pulls.

To each his own but it looks nice. I don't like the full leather look because it requires extra care. I only like leather seats.

Very pricey, it will set you back close to $3000 for everything. Plus you'll need to do the cubbyhole surface at the base for a complete look.

These are not Porsche OEM, but the quality is very good.
