It depends on the 986, I have leather everywhere, including the air vents.

I’d love a picture of those vents, I previously thought it was introduced for 987.

It was a 986 option, I think XNN, although it might have been a special request from the original owner. Here's an old picture that shows them, you can see the stitching on the back of the fin, the adjustment lever and open/close wheel are also leather. My 986 has zero plastic panels anywhere on the dash.

Awesome, incredibly time consuming to manufacture I imagine. Must have been an expensive option.

Wow, those are really nice! Never heard of that option on an original 986.

Ha! I have foam air vents, at least foam in my air vents...

And this price discussion is precisely why it’s a good idea to get into these cars (986) before they start to tick up. I just looked at the NADA for my car as it sits... books over 14k now (2002 S with 59k)
