I got them together with the wheels but the previous owner of the wheels told me that he bought them from the Porsche dealer and they are stock and original (and in fact, when wheels are clean -when?- the center cap "grey" is darker).
They fit with no changes at all. If you have another set of original center caps you can quickly try.

Visual pop! Today I learnt a new word and it really suits the concept 
Regarding the full leather, if I am not mistaken, in my previous 997 the a pillar covers were in leather (boring plain leather and no visual pop - gosh I love this term).
But in my 987 they seem to be basic plastic, and I have the full leather.
Good to know that my rollhops covers are already in leather. I hadn't noticed them.

If you have full leather, your hoops should be leather. As mentioned, there is no visible stitching... here is a photo of mine:

Ah, let me take the occasion of reusing your pic.
Somebody could help me to find on the PET the code for this part? I fear it's probably together with the carpet below.
Do you have them uploaded anywhere else?

It's a weird piece... it includes the Carpet and it's basically masked painted black plastic. Chips really easy... same as the door panel door pull panel.

UPDATE:
Scratch that... was looking at the other part you mentioned. My bad.
Damn... they are charging a lot for that part! Standard piece is $177... So they are up-charging $800 for leather... Ouch!

Keep in mind that the standard replacement cost is over $600! Then you factory in the leather and labor... ($400).

Second... Wow... They are crazy. I think I'll keep mine.
PS: cool! Bought them used for a good price.
But still I need the rennlister help. I have the usual PDF service manual but I was not able to find the section/page on how to replace them.
Does anybody has a hint for me?
