Replacing interior trim - door strips

[JFL]

Hi all,

Thinking of swapping the base aluminium trim in the interior of my 991.1 c2s with the official carbon fibre version. However I note on the Tequipment site that only the centre console piece, PDK shifter knob and dash trim pieces are available in carbon fibre, while it says specifically that the door trim strips aren't included and they aren't listed separately.

Does anyone know why that is? I haven't enquired with my local dealer yet probably because frankly the listed prices make me uncertain I'll go ahead, unless maybe I can find some second-hand ones. But definitely not something I would do unless I can get the door strips in the same finish as well.

3M's supply a carbon fibre wrap that will cover those door trim strips. Many vinyl sign makers will have some.
Here's a YouTube video on how to remove the door card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFQbGD0lP-U

You can also have them hydrodipped which is very effective. See here

I'm not sure these methods would produce an identical finish to the Porsche trim on the dash and console? Did 991s that were originally ordered with carbon fibre interior trim have the door strips in carbon as well?

Reason is I remember hiring one with the CF trim and loved it. I haven't seen the results of these methods in the flesh so couldn't be as sure about them. I can't remember for the life of me whether the door trim on the hire car was CF or not.

Sorry for the poor mobile phone picture, but I believe this is the door card strip you are referring to. This is a 991.2 Turbo S with the carbon effect door strip you want as standard, but it may not be possible to order this part separately, so you may need to order the complete door card and the cost is likely to be prohibitive. You can spec the interior carbon package on a new car under the exclusive catalogue, which includes these door trims at a cost is £1085. Suggest you discuss it with your local PC. Regards,Clive
