It matches nicely with my other interior mods and finally I'm 100% done with some aspect of the car! :dance:

List of my interior mods;
-Installed the option XMU - Gear shift knob/hand brake grip in combination with aluminum/leather,$100
-Porsche emblem steering wheel crest,$15
-Artic Silver dead pedal,door trim by handle,"c" clips and airbag,$100
-"Boxster" door sills,$85
-gauge rings,$80
-rear spoiler switch,$35 + $5(custom made harness)

Stereo mods,it's not the best sounding but enough for me and enough to compliments on how it sounds;
-MB Quart component tweeters,$80
-OEM rear speaker kit,$180

I attached some pictures.
1st is of the first change I did,the handbrake and shift knob.

Did you have the console painted blue also or did it come that way?

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

It was an option that the car came with.

Nice job - we must have similar tastes. I added the same gauge rings and Porsche crest.

Hi,

Robt. - looks nice. I'm curious, do you have issues with glare when installing these trim rings?

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I put the trim rings on mine as well. There's no daylight glare problem with them in place at all. What I find cool is that at night, they give off a little extra reflection off the background gauge illumination.
