Marc996 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Planning on painting the surround to match the dash or perhaps silver to match console. Installed with XM, Bluetooth and iPOD, No wires cut so car can be returned to stock if desired and it all works fine with factory Bose amp and speakers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Very nice! I love the background. I have considered removing the word "Pioneer" so that mine looks stock with my MB logo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marc996 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I was not digging the trim with the glossy finish so I refinished it to match the dash. I am very pleased with the results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zeeksterusa Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hi there - I have a 2002 996 and looking to put a Z3 in. Great job on the matte surround plate for the dash. I can't find one out there, only a glossy finish one on eBay will I don't like. Could you fabricate a matte faceplate surround for the AVIC for my 996. If so, let me know what the cost would be. Thanks much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zeeksterusa Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hi - thanks for the advice. I got the paint and painted it. Where can I get that great Porsche background image? It is the best I've seen. Did you create it? Please let me know. I'll post pics of my install after it is done next week. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zeeksterusa Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hi - Thanks for pointing me to the backgrounds images! I loaded in a cool one it looks great. The center console armrest in your Carrera doesn't look stock. The stock armrest is not that great and I was thinking of replacing it with this one: http://www.automotion.com/productpage.a ... =2&sid=211 Which type is yours, I like the height of it. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc996 Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 My armrest is a stock one recovered with a better quality leather and available from: http://928leathershop.com/Dashboard,_Console_and_Panel_Covers.html They do excellent work!
