I bought a CPO 4 ehybrid ST so didn't get all the options I wanted. One thing that drives me nuts is the plastic interior trim. Any place to get aluminum upgrade. Has anyone else swapped out the Piano plastic for something else?

 

My understanding is that all the optional finishes are available from Porsche for later installation. I have not done it myself, but I've read several threads on this forum about people who have.

 

If you are looking for interior trim suncoast sells them.

Thanks - saw wood and carbon fiber but no aluminum which is what I want. May go carbon fiber route at some point. Wrapping it just seems cheap

 

I like Suncoast but have also enjoyed purchasing my parts through GetPorscheParts.com (GPP) as they are a local connected with a local autogroup that has a Porsche Dealership (Silver Springs, MD), they allow easy part pick-ups, and their prices are usually on par with Suncoast. I will usually cross shop both sites to see the prices before making the purchase.

To answer your question, I have purchased an OEM carbon fiber cigarette lighter lid from GPP as my piano black was getting noticeable micro scratches from just the lightest of wipe downs from micro fiber towels. I then just had Porsche Silver Spring install it when I was there to change my 21" wheels to 20"s as I was there already. Wrapping is the most inexpensive way to go after browsing the part prices as a single brushed aluminum door trim piece could go for $309! Please post pictures with whatever route you choose.

 

I hate the black as well, is that carbon oem or aftermarket? I know koshi makes some nice overlays.

 

Wrapping any part of a car should be outlawed.

 

Piano black is beautiful when new, but with age/usage can become scratched and dull. Go over the trim with plastic scratch remover. I use a plastic windshield scratch remover I bought at a general aviation store. Auto stores also carry this. This takes some elbow grease, but the scratches will smooth out. I also use this on scratched plastic watch crystals. Then clean with a 50/50 water/alcohol solution. Now apply a dyy ceramic coating. I use Avalon Ceramic.

 

Would it look strange if I just upgraded the 3 pieces in the dash with brushed aluminum and left the doors and ashtray black plastic? It's what I see when driving and can always do the rest later

 

If you can swing it I would do all at once or it will just be annoying. Otherwise I would leave it as is.

 

Was looking at these and seller says they are like new. However looks like separated - anyone else agree?
