Default I have the V2 version and they are such an improvement over the originals.

I don't regret my purchase at all.

The shop number is +1.650.489.4415

If you guys don't know, every plastic piece of a modern Ferrari (348 on up) will eventually go bad. And not just scrape off like the 997 AC buttons.
They actually turn goopy and sticky like tar. Attached are some pieces we just got in.
Bump.

John, any update on the 4th Batch?

Hi John, we've emailed each other back on Feb 5th and sent you a payment for a spot on the 4th batch the following day. I thought we were good to go?

I got in on the MA Carbonbatch three and I just confirmed that they did receive my cores so they should be available to you guys soon. I'm very happy with my new buttons and like most everyone has said, the removal of the old ones isn't that tough and the installation of the new ones is even easier. Get the pick set though, if you don't already have one because I used every one of those tools. Oh, also make sure you have a set of small torx bits for your screw driver. I think it's a T-8 if I remember correctly.

Haha, oops. That "Before" picture was from my prior 997. I got another one this past Thanksgiving but it doesn't have the Sport Chrono package that shows in the before picture. My new one came with Sport Seats and the Porsche Sport Exhaust.

I just returned a set of old buttons to MACarbon, so another set should be available for someone.

MA Carbon charges a core fee. Once you get the new toggles and replace your current ones, you send back the old ones for a refund of your core fee, then they redo those and sell them to someone else.

He means he returned his cores so they should be making them for someone else.

I think I was batch 3 MACarbon and can’t rave highly enough about the product or service experience. My old buttons are apparently in LA having been sent from Australia so another core set should be there shortly. Thanks to this informative thread and MACarbon for sorting out the eyesore.
