Sweet! Did you stitch that leather yourself?
|
No mate, I got them from eBay
|
You can get your GPS aerial in the factory location by pulling out the old one and threading the new one back through. I have the same stereo and have the connector in the arm rest.
|
Do you have the ebay link please?
|
Yes please share the link looks great!!
|
The eBay seller is topgaiters . He sells all the leather for porsche boxsters. Hope this helps
|
|
Looks great! I would buy however I do not know how some black pieces will look with a savannah beige interior, may contrast too much.
|
Great upgrades, wonder if he sells them in graphite grey.
|
Sorry, but thatīs not the kind of my taste! Work is not really good, the stitched do not extend clean straight, the grained leather is absolutely not compatible with the oem smooth nappa leather and stitching from your hood is a no go!
so it should look:http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1375025660.jpg |
To each his own. He probably thinks your carbon fiber accents look cheap and stupid....
|
I'd really like something for my steering wheel. If anyone stumbles across something please post the link on here.
Thanks. |

exactly! to each his own. But just because i donīt like it, must I lie and say how great it looks? I just have other claims in terms of quality. |
My mum always said to me
" if you can't find anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" She taught me that even if i didn't like someone i should still try to find a positive, like they had nice shoes or nice hair. He was not asking for you to lie, in fact he wasn't asking for your opinion - it was a 'show and tell' post not a 'crush my spirit' thread. There could have been 50 people look at this who had an opinion either way but chose to say nothing. And those that liked it, posted positive feedback. Just be a little more considerate?:D |
Couldn't agree more Essex. Everyone has their own taste. I have always believed that the only opinion that matters is my own when it comes to upgrades, colors etc. I certainly do not want to rain on someone's parade when my taste doesn't align with their taste. That's just common courtesy, which is something that is lacking in society all too often:cheers:
|
Hey guys, if he likes it and he is satisfied with it, it makes me happy.
So I can still express my opinion, as I have to live with it, if others do not like, what I have on my car converted. Unfortunately you can not to please everyone and I personally prefer it, someone tells me the truth as he's lying in my face.;) |
I like it. But, more importantly is that I like that there are options for folks that don't have the OEM leather. :cheers: To the OP.. was it tough to I nstall? I went on his site and read that its just the leather.
|
It took me about 1hour to fit it. You have a bit of trimming to do but other than that it's fairly easy
|
SpiderRS,
What do the buttons on your steering wheel do? Looks like you've got a Manual, so it's not a "flappy paddle" replacement, and I think I spy the stock head unit, so presumably not volume controls... Quote:

I really like the OP's white stitched leather look. Reasonably priced too. I'd say these are a winner!

The stitching on the armrest in the ebay link though is plenty good in my humble opinion for the price. I think I will get one. |

Hey buddy, how are you!? I know from them, they do a really good job, as i know too, the leather is from malaysia, work is done in china. They also make steering wheels for 997, 987... for very low prices... but believe me, in direct comparison you'll see that our quality is still much better ... in fact everything handmade. |

the basic sw is from raid/atiwe, diameter 320mm with flat bottom. We have customized this sw with real carbon fiber, matte finish, covered with smooth nappa leather and silver stitching. We do a similar conversion for an italian customer..: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.504517502952778.1073741826.250948328309698& type=1 |
For those interested, I contacted the seller about getting door armrests in matching leather. Well, he wrote back and told me he went out and bought a 986 door panel to measure, so now he has the matching door armrest. Yes, I know there is an easy DIY, but I was/am considering the center console arm rest and if I get that, I would want matching leather on the door arm rests. Here is the link to his store, and no, I am not in any way affiliated. I do like the looks of the products for the price. I just wrote him concerning the stitching on the door arm rests, I would prefer no stitching as it might get annoying on the elbows, or maybe I am just over thinking it.

Those are the Jump Buttons for the Mach 1!

Can anyone advise me on how to remove the dash cover over the speedo cluster? I ordered the topgaiter cover, is there an easy way to remove this without tearing apart the whole dash board?
Thanks. PS ordered the armrests and center console armrest as well. Black leather with grey stitching to match the rest of the interior. Can hardly wait to install. Also, anyone have advice on spray adhesive for this? I thought the 3M 90 would be the best choice, let me know, Thanks |
I did mine today and used the 3M General Purpose 45 and seemed to work well. Happy with the results!

Here's the before and after on the center console:
