Perhaps is a good idea getting a dash in poor condition. It wouldn't matter since it will be reupholstered anyway with alcantara. And, in this way I can keep the original which is nice just in case.

I have a 99. I read some notes on changing dash to an 02 but did not find what other pieces are needed to do the conversion. Maybe this is the way to go.

 

Very nice.... There's something to put on the To Do List!

looks good...im doing center console the same

 

Paint looks great, I have started this same process on my car as well. I am not sure if I will keep going though just because I am pretty happy with it now.

 

I thought I remember seeing a "write-up" somewhere (6-speed or rennlist) on changing out the "dash strips" without destroying the clips. You might want to research more before making a decision on them, just a thought.

Also, to the OP, very nice install and look. How'd you get such a great looking "faceplate/bezel surround" for the double din stereo? Was it part of the package deal from "euromotorspeed" on ebay that you mentioned? TIA for the help!

 

Thanks, I shall do more research on the dash strips. And yes, the bezel is part of the double-DIN kit from said ebay vendor. He is also a member of 6speed and occasionally posts on here.

 

jr .... looked for the vendor/seller on ebay yesterday but no luck finding. Maybe I'm loosing it . Anyway, would you have a link or more info on the ddin kit, thanks!

 

I couldn't find him either. My experience with the guy is if he is out on a trip or something, he pulls out all his ebay listings. But as soon as he is back online, I will let you know.

 

before pic is my car, i love the after- beautiful !

 

Just got word from the guy.

Hi Sid. Thanks for the comps. The nav screen you saw in my interior is actually a Kenwood double-din headunit. It doesn't have nav as we don't have nav in my location. But there are plenty of double-din options that includes nav. I went with Kenwood due to the fact that the button illumination can be matched with the dash lighting. Pioneer too have similar features but I prefer the non-glossy faceplate of the Kenwood.

 

navi looks good

 

Very nice, Sid. That is a very custom looking interior! I have an album somewhere but it's not that organized. But, as you requested, here are the latest pics. They've been posted in some other threads but here they are again.










Up and coming is a 3rd brake light cover in black to replace the LED right below the softtop, a blacked-out lamin-x for the 3rd brake light on the aero wing, a tinted lamin-x for the headlights. Also budgeting a new park brake lever with the silver trimming and "PORSCHE" logo on it. Thought of switching out some interior parts for carbon fiber for a silver/CF combo, but most of my mod budget just went into my Cayenne Turbo.

 

The paint on my car is still the original factory paint. I don't know what my body shop used for the front bumper and aero wing, but the car still has to go back for extra buffing on those two parts as they are actually still a bit orange-peel-wavey.

I got the steering wheel from Edwin of Precision Porsche. He said it used to be the steering wheel on his personal car. It was originally a CF wheel but he painted it in silver for me. I recall the cost to be around $1,300 including the airbag. Since you already have the airbag on your 3-spoker, I recall seeing on Suncoast a brand new OEM silver steering wheel for a grand without the airbag. You should check it out. You can even paint it in red, if you'd like to.

 

very nice interior guys...I want to change my interior also...there's too much savanah beige going on..
