Just added a Painted Console - Photo Included

[Gary H]

Hehe, Great minds:



The console was stock (the lid is about to get re-trimmed) and I had my belts custom made.

The color is a nice touch...my car is black, so it matched already!

Does anyone have a picture of a white one? I've never seen how that would look, I've seen it around the roll bar but not the console.

Kyleturner2020 has a painted white console. I think they look great. I've seen others but can't find the pictures now.

A quick look at what a white console would look like..hope the attachment works.

Thank you.. I'm not seeing it though.. There is this specialty custom shop on the beach in LA. When I had idiot money, I sent my intake vents out there to be black chromed, I really like the effect. I'm sure the console would be mad money to have the guy do but it would look cool, I guess at that price might as well go carbon fiber.

I reckon a white console would look awesome. I'm also very sure it would do more to lift the 986 cabin, which let's face it is one of the car's weaker areas, more than a carbon console which is nice enough but is a pretty subtle change from black.

Very nice. I have the Tequipment (carbon) shifter too. Those two upgrades are pricey but instantly kill the no-frills look and just like that you have the same interior that was available on a $100K Carrera Turbo. A set of the $100 aftermarket pedals you often see on Fleabay and you're off to the races.
I'm considering wrapping the upper console in leather so that there's not much bare black plastic. I'd also like to add the AVIC Nav system to give it modern look. But that will be after a new suspension and possibly new wheels.

Ah, but it's gloss black I assume. A gloss black console might look quite sexy in there...
