    We have them....not all listed on the order page, but email me for details of what you need.

    997 Mirrors just came in, more stuff to follow.

    We just completed a 997 GT3 interior, including rear center console, center and side vents, interior mirror triangles, and ignition surround. Stunning.

    Here's CF mirror. In my _tentative_ opinion? It _may_ look like it replaced a damaged mirror and is waiting for paint to match car. They just stick out too much (literally) and not matching paint adds a big "Why?" Maybe the answer, "because," is just fine too.

    Definitely see on in person (might be next to impossible).

    Wow, I like the one for the A-pillar! Where do I get those?

    I actually thought that Eric got the rear center mirror in CF, not the outside side mirrors!

    Who's CF is that? Bumper Plugs? If so Eric, how much is the instruement surround? I ordered mine in leather but would love to get it in CF if the CF weave is very similair.

    Also where does those pointy peices go?

    Re: lookin for carbon

    Thanks MMD. Love the way that looks, all that's missing is a leather stitched turbo logo storage compartment.

    QUESTION: I see 2 types of CF shift knobs. When you order option 803 CF trim strip w/ shift knob & CF E-brake which CF shift knob do you get? Hopefully it's the one that is styled like the stock shifter w/ the alum. Is it this one?

    Atomic - RE: CF outer sills- Besides one being lighted are both types of CF outer sills the same? Do you know? I didn't realize that the sill was all the way up into the door jam that looks awesome, are both that size?

    Add leather inner sills to this outer CF sill and yummy!

    Hello Greg,
    The standard shift knob from Sept. 2006 delivery looks like this one.

    Re: lookin for carbon

    I believe that both lighted and non-lighted door sills are the same but I'm not 100% sure on that.

    The CF shift knob in the Turbo looks like this:


    And the "pointed pieces" are for the A-pillar. Over by where the side mirror controls are on the driver's side and the blank piece on the passenger side. Right now mine looks kind of cheap with the black plastic. I wouldn't mind replacing these pieces with either the CF trim or leather pieces.

    Hey A, Yeah IM_H_O if you like to look it's def. cool to be surrounded by the "latest" technology. Even if it IS supposedly heavier than "plastic" in this application.

    It's like this watch: made of the finest/coolest stuff, and even though it's completely overkill (_BUT_ looks good) you can always have a piece of it with you; surround yourself with it: why not?
