Over the years I've gathered up all the factory carbon pieces that were offered for the Boxster (and there's a bunch). Basically, every black piece of interior trim can be found in CF.

I've discovered several things - first, they tend to fade and get dull over time with exposure to the sun, and second, some (dash end caps) tend to split and separate, again from sun exposure.

I have one specific car, a base 2000 model in Arctic Silver and Boxster Red that I have pretty well loaded with everything. I do tend to think it's too much.

With several of my cars I've gone with a CF steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake, with 987 Boxster CF door sill covers. Those pieces give a nice splash of CF without being overdone.

Where are you sending your pieces to get the work done?

Yes I’m sending out the parts I said I was doing. I didn’t want to go overboard that’s why I didn’t decide to send door parts or vents. My steering wheel will be suede to match the shift boot so no carbon there either just too expensive
