No, I have the gt2 carbon buckets with crests in the headrests and alcantara centers. I'm seeing if someone I know will do a trade with me for his yellow stitched version. If not I can get the oem leather replacement with yellow stitching for 3400 from Porsche. Ouch

Has anyone experienced any issues with the leather seats and the leather center console touching/rubbing against each other over time? I could see that being an issue after several years.

I ordered the shift boot extension piece in leather from EO last week. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks nice!

The reason why I ordered this piece is the stock black plastic in that cubby area scratches very easily. Just putting the iphone in and out of that cubby leaves white scuffs on the black plastic. The leather won't show this wear.

I wanted to update this thread and say I just got my PDK cover and it looks FANTASTIC!

I can't wait to order the center console and the other interior bits I want to complete my "full leather" interior.

Is this stuff generally easy to DIY install? Or is it a nightmare of hidden fragile clips and so forth?

Also do the stock parts have much resale value or do you typically just hang onto it or even toss it out?

Just curious...I may do a few more interior upgrades after the performance mods are done.

It is easy DIY. There are plenty of references on the forum to make the installs pretty straightforward. There is a core charge if you choose to keep your original parts.

What is EO? Are these OEM parts?

EO = exclusive options.

They are OEM parts that are wrapped in leather.
