Weekend project: who can spot the difference

[halik]

Before:

After:

 

[Tsavo]

You dyed the leather in new baby shit brown color?

 

[hans007]

Paddle shifters. I agree with the last guy though. I hate that interior color.

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

removed radio controls and cruise control buttons. Added Paddle shifters.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Is that interior contained within a silver exterior?

Perhaps I could see black or Navy blue giving it a good contrast - but silver?

And losing the radio controls for paddle shifting a tiptronic?

 

[Demo24]

What are those lights above the clock in the gauge pod, gear indicators?

How responsive is shifting the triptronic anyway?

Must admit, Porsche seats look so plain and unsupportive until you sit in them and then work surprisingly well.

 

[Doppel]

Before: You didn't own it
Next: You did

 

[power_hour]

There is a reason I stopped watching CSI. Do you wear Sunglasses inside the car?

 

[halik]

Hah same color as before (the color tone is accurate in pic 1), cell phone flash made it look crazy yellow.

There were no radio controls, the buttons were for tip +- on both sides.

Nice man. How long did it take you?

Nice man. How long did it take you?

About 2-3 hours of xacto knife and dremmel to make little compartments for the paddles and like an hour for wiring and install. The paddles are really nice cast metal, oem mbenz amg parts.

More of an Einzelnkupplunggetriebe; tiptronic on my 996 4s and turbo cars were mercedes automatics.

 

[JulesMaximus]

removed radio controls and cruise control buttons. Added Paddle shifters.

Pretty sure those were shift buttons, not radio controls.

[jagec]

Yes, the camera angle is COMPLETELY different between the two pictures. Surprised it took you all weekend, though, I could do that in 5 seconds.

 

[phucheneh]

removed radio controls and cruise control buttons. Added Paddle buttons [for automatic].

Fixed.

Boooo.

I can only approve of large metal paddles with a left pull = downshift, right pull = upshift orientation on a manual gearbox with a computer-controlled clutch.

I'm a picky little bitch, I am.
