After nearly 5 years and 27,000 miles....
of almost daily driving, my interior needs a little refreshing.
I'm thinking a carbon fibre door handles and covers, center console, shifter, hand brake etc.
Any suggestions / recommendations ? Also is this a relatively easy DIY ?
I've checked out the site sponsors - but would appreciate any feedback.
Thanks Tim

Well, truthfully most days, but not everyday. Doesn't help only having a 6 mile one way commute, but do take it out almost weekly for an 'engine cleaning' session :-)
Plus it's only 4.5 years old - yeah I know a lame mileage but we have 4 cars and only two drivers....

buy all of it directly from Porsche and have your dealer install it. that way you get decent CF and they will warranty the work. too many heavy CF interiors in Florida that I've heard about and elsewhere warping and cracking and peeling off of the interior.
this is nowhere to go cheap. you'll probably get SOME resale value out of the CF somedsay but probably ONLY if it's factory parts and you have the bill from Porsche dealer who installs it.

Speed Yellow is RIGHT ON point. The market is flooded with chinese and outsourced carbon fibre products....some made in garages and warehouses....buy the Porsche products so you can fall back on something besides..."Terribly sorry". However I do have to add that there have been several posts stating that their Porsche factory carbon pieces had either de-laminated or turned yellow.
I have the factory CF throughout the interior and it has held up very well...no cracks, delamination, or yellowing. Make sure you read the language of the Porsche warranty carefully...
