Carrbon Center Console

I've been looking at upgrading my stock console for a carbon one. I have the factory carbon interior and would like any recommendations you 996 owners have on what brand you chose.

MA Carbon.
There's no one else i'd rather deal with when it comes to carbon interiors.
Better than OEM quality finish and fit.

Definitely MA Carbon.

I have a fair amount of stuff bought from MA Carbon (mostly in my ferrari) but it's top notch stuff.

i do notice that my OEM CF in the GT3 is a litte yellower in the sun compared to the CF in my M3. It's a little weird for OEM products.

It's not bad but if you factor in the cost of these OEM parts, you would think they would have a better finish compared to the ones made my aftermarket companies. Again, my M3 non OEM CF, probably made in Asia, doesn't have the yellow haze and I spent 1/3 less.

again, my oem cf parts... all throughout my cabin... is fine set against my black interior.

the cgt oem cf yellowing... so long as all the cars are yellowing, who freakin' cares. it's not yellow like corn.

people have choices. ma shaw sells good stuff, but don't shy away from oem cf parts either because of what you're hearing online.

lots of stuff come from the factory only to be improved upon by the aftermarket. vice versa.
