I have two pieces of X-pel cut to put on the front 12" of each one, as that is the part that is exposed to scratches, etc., but it has been too cool around here to put them on.

Best idea would be to install the X-pel prior to installing the sills, but I didn't get the idea of putting a wrap on it until after I put them in. and I don't know how friendly the carbon of the piece is to repeated stress of pulling up and reinstallation. These things were $400+ each, so I wanna be careful!

wing like the stock?

Looks great! I ordered the door pull inserts and the sport chrono cover. Add a nice touch of extra CF in the interior. MA was great to deal with. Turbo inlets will be my next purchase. Click image for larger version

That looks nice. I would do the same, but my sport chrono cover is leather, and I am not replacing pricey leather pieces with CF covered stuff, with the exception of a custom steering wheel and the PDK ****. I just ordered the steering column trim pieces in leather with matching factory charcoal stitching from Exclusive Option to replace the cheapo plastic pieces. This is a great visual upgrade for the price, as the column trim pieces are pretty big and very visible getting in, out or driving the car.

And the price at $399 after core exchange is less than ordering it from the factory (XNS) and less than half of the cost from SunCoast for the pieces from Porsche.

I wanted something different. Mine was covered in full leather too, but the CF piece changes things up. I didn't think that a TTS came in anything but full leather

The leather column trim is a stand alone option. Almost the entire rest of the dash is covered in leather. I have the carbon fiber trim package, and also the CF outer lighted door sills.

I just have to watch myself regarding too many CF interior pieces, because it looks strange to me with too much of it. My steering wheel is carbon fiber and leather, and the inner trim ring and the r/l shifters are also covered in CF, so it can get ridiculous pretty quickly.

So I try to balance the CF with leather.
