Eric (Plug Guy) has a reputation beyond repute

We are painting them all the time. They must be dismantled, all switches removed, and sent to us for painting. Turnaround is less than a week though.

Email me anytime for details. We do a few sets a week now. This includes ALL the panels from just below the center vent, down to and including the lower storage box.

Hi Eric

Did you ever do a PCM faceplate in dull black instead of glossy ?
Do you have pics, I am thinking about it but don't know what will look better, I do not want to have too much glossy in the interior

Would appriate if you have a pic

I have one and I love it, use the volume controll all the time, plus it looks way better than the plain jane one...

I like it if for looks and nothing else. Without it the wheel looks too plain jane. I use it for volume only.....working the CD, etc., just a bit too involved when pushing the tt through gobs of traffic.

vs this work of art in my C4S Cab:

I love my 997 sport wheel. IMO it is nicer the the 996 wheel.

looks nice. whoever pulled it all apart they did a great job. I pulled one apart to just blend another part together when I did an aftermarket screen so it looked seemless.... I needed a valuum when i was done... I talked to a guy at the Porsche dealership , he said the new ones can be "M CODED" to not have the volcano gray on it and do body color at the time of order. I seen a totaled vehicle online about a month ago, i don't know if it was Cayman or Boxster, but had a PCM with a broken screen, if I find the link again I will fwd it to you, would be nice to have one already primed and disassembled awaiting for paint?!?!
