I think the hardest part so far was making the air vents work with the '99 ducts.... It works great now, but I had to cut down (depth) the new center air vent, and then reshape the existing duct to be skinnier (due to cupholder)..

 

What a transformation! That interior looks a 100% better.

 

thanks Kahlid... it really does.. I took the car our for a drive yesterday and it feels better in the car... well it feels better cause I like the look of it so much better

When I talked to Jeff at Sunset he said he has never had anyone update the early 996's with the later model center dash. It is not cheap to do, but I am so much happier with it, and the cupholders. Personally the main reason to do it was for the late model cup holders. I just did not like the cupholders that replace the heater controls (of course you moev them lower). They do not look good in my own opinion when compared to the newer style.

 

if you don't mind, can you pm me how the center dash cup holder replacement cost?

 

I like the cupholder update, well done. The car is looking great.

 

that looks great

 

thanks everyone>.. I found the cupholder itself on ebay, then I got all of the other pieces at Sunset Porsche in Portland. Jeff was more than great there!

total price of projet is about $400 or so. It is spendy, but I think that update it gives the interior of the earlier cars is worth it!

 

Love it, now you just need a facelift headlight change

 

for the $8000+ dollars it would cost for headlight change on my car with my RSR coversion... I don't think so

 

where's the cage? looks like a plain ol' roll bar to me

 

Bruce, great job looks sweeeeet!

 

Thanks Dave,
and Carlos I just won anothe cage off of ebay built by Speedware. It is a 6 point bolt in cage.. hmmmm.... may have to put that in now

 

car looks great. i'd like to see more pics of your rear fender extensions.

why did you get rid of your airbag? you may regret that at some point.

 

I can get some more pix of the extensions here next week. I am pulling them off and getting some things repainted (bumper, flares, skirts, cage, center console etc)..

as far as the airbag goes....ah screw it

 

looks amazing, which carbon door kit did you use, genuine porsche or other? either way it looks great
