Thanks! It looks nice... especially matching the vents and the center console.

I am facing similar in the aftermarket using OEM bits . I am replacing the interior trim with carbon. I haven't decided on the shift **** or brake . The center stack is amuminum . I wonder if the carbon matches the center . It has been very hard to figure this out sight unseen.

No, the carbon won't match the center/PCM stack. I'm doing every carbon option, and then doing the PCM package in leather. IMO that's the only way it looks nice.

The seat backs are very similar to the stack . An aluminum shifter could offset the carbon. Too much carbon blinds me. That's what's so confusing . I want some CF bit not too much. So far I only ordered the vents and trim . I also ordered the plenum .

I figure if I order the CP Techart steering wheel and leave the possible aluminum pedals it can add flavor and not be too stark or overdone .

I may change to leather . This is the hardest part to mod for me and in some way important but not in the same way as the engine, suspension, aero, and wheels .

Interior is not easy .

Trent I went and looked at cars today and not one had CF on the showroom floor . I look at some of the cars in this forum and interior is very beautiful and for me it's never been important . So a little carbon order led to a big expense which is growing . The worst case is to buy something I don't like and cancelling the order is not where ia m headed .

Since my car is black/black --I have to be even more careful with carbon not to feel like I'm driving in the dark when I sit in my car.

Have you seen a CF interior with center stack unchanged ?

Yes, I have seen a car (in pics) with the CF options, but with the standard center stack, and didn't care for it.

I love the look of carbon fiber and wanted that center stack in CF too. Personally I hate that standard stack so I'm doing it in leather. I don't think you'll feel like you're driving in the dark, I'm doing full black leather and I think it looks very nice with the carbon fiber.

Ok I might opt for this . https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...d.php?t=122023

He's got leather stack but off sets it with aluminum shift (I think mine already is) and brake . I already ordered the trim except the hand door opener , map inserts, and door sills . The Turbo inscribed lid looks beautiful but it would require a special order and I may do it. The CF steering wheel from Techart is also on my things to add list.

i would like to get that part in carbon also, let me know if you find where to get it. I think that any shop that manufactures carbon can custom do it

We could do it if the parts were provided for us. The problem is that Porsche doesn't sell the PCM plastic pieces without all the electronics, so it is very pricey.
