My advice for anyone who want to do such project consider your interior color in mind, carbon fiber looks great in the morning however at night u dont see it , i wanted to change my interior to flamenco red , but i dont want to lose the originality of the car , am going to change my front both seats but to the original color

Nice job. Looks much better than wood IMO. Tell me more about that stereo.

Not so - my switches are not covered...................
I wasn`t suggesting the switches themselves are supposed to be covered. Yours cover the full plastic switch cover surround so look like the std ones. Amrkaki confirmed his were stickers so all has been cleared up.

I think the CF looks much better. Hope you saved that wood in case you ever want to go back to original.

Just my opinion, but carbon fiber will quickly look dated, much like those old mobile phones. Wood is timeless. Again, just my opinion.

Very nice project. But I think the wood looks much better. Especially with the blue interior.

CF looks hot!

I Just can't seem to justify paying $$$ for that nice interior upgrade when it's purly cosmetic and feel good emotion.
Maybe when I win a lotto.

Agree with you bobby , I contacted Porsche classic , unfortunately the company has stop manufacturing carbon fiber dash trims and panels , so the only guy who made them is Marcus from Germany all made from original carbon fiber

Just installed the dash cover on my C2. I've got that, hand brake, shifter, wheel and door pulls.

I've gathered the OEM bits over the years when I had the opportunity and they were cheap. Honestly, not that bad pricing wise if you are patient.

I'm looking for the console switches then I think I'm all done. I like the accents but don't want to overpower the interior with the full kit.

Thanks for the info. It appears to have been discontinued. Seems some people had numerous software issues.
