No, that picture is from Frank at EO.

I have a few things coming in Alcantara, but for the Sports Chrono, I am thinking either the Carbon or Leather with double stitch.

I really like those exhaust tips! I see they make them in black as well however then they are like black wheels, can't see the any of the details. All the trim on my car is black, wonder how the burnished titanium would look :think:

I am thinking the same thing... The trim on my car is black, with agate grey paint... A little titanium might look cool

One thing I thought of today, the steering wheel on my GTS is alcantra and fairly thin. I really notice this when I drive my R32, it has a thick full leather steering wheel with a great feel. I am considering somehow adding a thicker steering wheel or sending it out to be recovered and additional padding added. I also would consider going to leather for potentially simpler maintenance.

Examples: Suncoast has the thicker leather wheel
https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/991LEAG2GT.html

Exclusive Option and others offer the service but I could potentially spec additional details like stitching in Carmine red to match the GTS package.


Edit: I just went outside and did a quick clean to my Alacantra steering wheel. I simply scrub it in multiple directions with a nylon brush and wipe it down with a clean micro-fiber cloth with a bit of warm water like suggested in the JetFuelOnly video. I am surprised how satisfying I find it.

What year is your GTS? My 22 GTS has the same steering wheel as in the Suncoast link.

Larry, mine is a 2021 however I think it is more about the options chosen on the build list than the year.


The little cubby where the smokers package goes is borderline useless to me. I see the options for a cupholder or phone holder there but with a manual shift car this seems like it would get in the way of your arm. Anybody with experience putting a cup holder here? Kaizen or eBay have lots of options

Hey everyone...Some of my recent mods were inspired by some members here sharing their interior photos. I thought we should start a thread focused on the next mods/updates we have planned (or just thinking about), exterior or interior. Maybe others can chime in if they already did it and provide help, have suggestions, critiques, etc.

I'll go first... Currently @Crazy Eddie is working on some Fuse Box Covers for me. I am certain I am driving him nuts by my over-the-top ideas :lol: :angel: :lol: But oh well, he does such amazing work I might as well get something really cool.

I was actually inspired by someone here who posted their Fuse Box Covers (Can't find the post), but it was wrapped in leather and they had it embroidered as well.

Anyways, would love to hear everyone's future mods/upgrades.
Thanks for the plug.
Yeah, I had my fuse panels done locally as well.

I decided to go with the Porsche Carbon sport chrono housing. Should have it here in a week or so

I have an interesting plan to integrate it with the eventual leather/stitch defrost vents I will be getting.
