carbon fiber interior install and possibly partial sale

Hi guys,

I've decided to go full carbon fiber interior instead of a mixture of wood and carbon fiber. just got a set of brand new carbon fiber OEM interior trim. I have 2 questions: a) how much does dealer charge to replace interior trim? i'm talking about shifter, handles and everyother piece that is OEM.
b) This complete set includes trims on the doors, front dash, center console silver trim, gear shifter console surround, and back console doors and silver surround. Is anyone interested in buying the door trims front dash trims? Its a little too dark for my taste, and I might want to keep the silver that i have now. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
John

I'm ordering a couple of carbon fiber interior parts for my brand new '09 GTS:

CF Door Handles & Grab Handles - $1122.21
CF Steering Wheel - $1249.06
CF Gear Selector - $315.60

Front Stainless Steel Skidplate -$395.06
Rear Stainless Steel Skidplate -$395.06

The above prices are MSRP (totals $3476.87), and Rector Porsche in Burlingame, CA quoted me their cost plus 20% for a discounted total of $3107.25.

Is this a good deal?

How much do you think they'll quote for installation? Do I have enough negotiating room to have them throw that in? I would imagine the steering wheel might be a ***** to change!

Attached are the pictures, basically I want to get rid of the trims on the doors and front dash. I’m keeping the center piece. If you ever want the center console piece, you should get it from macarbon because it has more CF covering than the OEM one. The one from Porsche still has the large silver surround the gearshift so its not that much carbon.
This kit is around $2300, what I’m selling is more than half the kit and I would like 800 + shipping for them. They are brand new, in the box and made in germany.

Does your carbon fiber match exactly with the factory carbon fiber in case I want to mix and match?

Do you guys provide installation services? If so, how much for all the carbon fiber parts I've listed?

PM me if you prefer.

Thanks,
Tom
