Thanks. I looked around for a while, but there aren't many options when it comes to CF side skirts. The car felt incomplete without the sides.
The good thing about all the panels is that I can take all of them off in about 10 minutes.

good looking car... I'm a big fan of carbon interior. The 997 looks really nice with some of the interior pieces upgraded to the carbon fiber version...

Thanks, this CF is a costly hobby. I am just few pieces short of completing the interior. I'm changing the sport chrono (mushroom) and the key and light ring. I looked at the company you recommended. They are in Europe, I might stop by when I go there in May.

perfect! I've done:

Shiftknob
Handbrake lever and back panel
Ignition + Light
Center stack side panels
Rear console lid
door handles + pockets +front of pocket's part
little rectangle on the door
seatbelt surrounding part

to do soon...

long door sills.

it is an expensive update that quickly snowballs after the first piece.

Yes, Toronto (more like Mississauga) but I live north of Georgetown

Mississauga is a nice place. I used to visit Samuel and Sons in that location for several years on a monthly basis.

Yes its nice, but after 25 years in the city I went back to the country. My commute is about 50min, but now at least I enjoy the drive. Sometimes I even take the long, long way home

no you're not - there are still plenty of CF options left inside alone: vents, dash trim, ignition switch surround, light switch surround, glove box pull, steering wheel tabs, overhead light surround. Don't ask how I know

Look sharp w/ the cocoa and tastefully done. For me, I would definitely do the glove box pull since it's on a different sight line and the silver stands out. I did mine and it competely changed the look (especially as the cupholders are CF). It ain't a cheap piece though

Gosh, it's as if Stacy hacked into my account

The forums are crazy places. Mod-madness! I'm hooked.

ain't that the truth! When I had my 993, before all the forums existed, I did not change that car at all. This one within one year, its almost a different car.

that's so true... with my other cars, I never changed anything... with porsches (first with the 996 and now with the 997) is another story. I've customized my 997 to my liking and is not worth to me to upgrade to a 997.2. I rather keep the car and change the rear bumper and lights!

this is my interior now...
