Purchased 2000 S - Looking for interior parts
Hello,
After searching for about a month I purchased a used 2000 S this evening. The car is in pretty good shape except for a few interior trim pieces. The car originally came extremely well optioned. I would like to replace the old tired pieces with NOS or used original parts. This is where it gets odd... I need to find NOS or Used Carbon Door arm rests and carbon door pull covers. I've tried to locate part numbers for these parts but I have come up blank. I imagine there must be someone selling these but I'm not finding the right search terms. The parts I'm looking for were optioned under the following code (I think): XTL - Carbon door panel parts Sorry if this has been covered before. Thank you, Ted http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1574494914.jpg |
You mean like this: https://niinedesign.com/Carbon-Fiber-Door-Armrest-Cover-fits-Boxster-986-996-986CFDAC.htm
... which took me all of 4.873 seconds to find. |
Well sort of... Except that is a film you apply over your existing parts and mine is a carbon fiber part. I'm looking for the original parts, not the film.

Follow this link to the factory parts catalog.

Those parts when new were very rare, very expensive, & not very durable. |

The film might lead you to the part number... go hunting. Might take a while, but doeable. |

Thank you, JRJ!
XTE and XTL are both listed for Carbon door panel parts . Seeing as how I don't have XTL listed on my car, not sure why I picked/gravitated to that item designation. Thanks again for the assist. I looked into this a bit more and I think I'm going to look into having them repaired. There is no structural damage to them. Just ugly cracks. There is a shop at the airport who specializes in making CF parts for full scale helicopters. I'm going to swing by on the way home and see what they suggest. Ted |
perhaps just remove the clearcoat and re-shoot?

It's the epoxy that's broken/cracked. After speaking with one of the tech's I think I have a plan. I'm going to go at it with a drill bit shaped like a ball and carve a groove into the crack. From there I'll sand it all back and feather in the cracks. Then I'll apply a new layer Or really...multiple layers of UV resistant epoxy to the cracks to build up the cracked ares. Once it's all built up then I will sand it down with varying grits util i get to 3000 grit. Finish with buff and polish.
Time consuming? Yes. Less expensive than buying new parts? YOU BET! Maybe I'll post some photos as I go. |
I’d inquire with one of the outfits that can repair carbon fiber bicycle frames. Those guys usually can work wonders.
