I think silver CF looks good on consoles. Keep in mind that silver CF is a bit more 'flash' though and will become the center of attention in the interior (which is a good thing!). I think it would look best in a black interior rather than a lighter interior. With the grey leather I think regular CF looks best. Also keep in mind that silver CF will be in the 'twill' pattern which is not the correct '997' pattern.

We have a console ready for processing if you want to give it a try!

Silver console in 996

We've done a few silver CF consoles for the 996. I'll point out (before someone else does) that the handbrake panel weave direction did not match the rest of the console. It was corrected shortly after the photo was taken!

We don't normally stock parts in silver. Black is much more popular for us. But we always have a supply of the silver material on hand in case its needed.

How much would a center console run for the 997?

i think the CF center console only looks good if you get the rest of the CF interior goodies. but since you have a white 997, the white console would be a good match. i also plan do to the same thing. i recently purchased a console which was taken off a RS during delivery and i plan to paint it white. i was gonna paint the one from my car white but i didnt want any down time so, when i install my new one, mine will be available. i did some research from suncoast and new black console runs bout $500 which includes the rear cubby. i think the ash tray cover is a bit more. pre-painted consoles, cubby and ash tray cover was about $1100.
