Interior trim bits

I found a few items online to add a little color to the interior. Took two months to get here though.

That and a pair of storage cubbies for under the center console grab handles.

Sure, not a look for everyone. Upside is they're easily removable.

I actually like that grab handle storage piece. Never have a good place for my phone when there are drinks in the cup holder.

I suppose black against black or tan against tan you look ok. But black against tan points out the fact you have a cheap aftermarket piece of plastic added to your Porsche. The blue spedo rings, thats just a "hell no"!

Well, like they say about opinions....

They're black against the black of the console. They're largely invisible when sitting in the seats. Considering I don't have one of the bog-standard seats colors there really isn't much else to choose.

Anyone fixated enough to notice the small segment of black that extends below the grab handle, visible only when practically crawling into the vehicle from the gutter, well, I guess they'd be just a special sort of person, wouldn't they?

I didn't buy a bright blue vehicle because I was at all worried what the concours-wannabe-crowd might think. I get it, y'all like having your things just so. Great! Good for you, gold stars and golf claps all around.

Meanwhile I found a clever accessory that satisfies one of my needs and have taken the time to share how it looks. If it doesn't work for you, no worries. Anyone else, it's decently made (for what it is) and it'll take forever to get here if you order a set.

My initial thought on the pockets was "god those look cheap", but then you showed your glasses in them and now I'm thinking I could deal with the cheap look for a good place to stick my sun glasses!

Don't trust Ali though as they are known for cheap and counterfeit crap

Blue against tan and black looks ricer. Just another opinion since you take them so well.

Yeah, I'd love to find an example of some made 'better' but for the price they're decent. I suppose now that I've got them I could find someone to use them as a model and work a section of the same colored leather to stitch together something two-toned to match the console top and the tunnel side. Or not, for $30 it's a reasonable solution, 'opinions' aside.

As for counterfeit, yeah, I'd never use them for something otherwise available from the factory. I suppose there's a few suppliers in the mix that can do a decent job but it's such a crap-shoot otherwise. I'll say this though, their conflict resolution system works pretty well. The few times I've had problems I've always gotten refunds. Doesn't mean it wasn't annoying getting to that point, but at least I got my money back.

I ordered and "installed" those pockets from China. My interior is black so they blend right in. Love them so far.
A ton of the stuff direct from China is exactly the same stuff that the name brands are selling you, but at a much lower price.

Ignoring the copyright and customs importing problems, of course. There definitely seems to be a ton of suppliers willing to ignore those laws. Thus I'm not really willing to make purchases for what are obviously counterfeits, or 'excess manufacturing' of the same items.

It's tempting, but I prefer to buy legit items from legit suppliers whenever possible. Assuming, of course, that the legit suppliers haven't themselves just bought the fake stuff, passing it off as legit. Tough to know.

Nobody else is making those pockets, or the other bits of bling, so I was willing to give them a try.
