I am trying to upgrade these little defroster vents from the cheap plastic to the cheap plastic covered in leather and was wondering if anyone has these in leather on their car? Please post an image if so. I was also considering painting them guards red as my car is red with black leather as this would add some color to the dash as i have the stock stitching. if anyone has these painted and has an image that would be great as well.

Here are some images of my car.

thanks in advance

The first image is the little defroster vent i am trying to upgrade.

The red clothes hooks are from Bumperplugz and look really nice.

 

Here are some more images of my 09TT. I am having some trouble attaching all the images so this is what i do download. Will give it another shot tomorrow. the images are the A-pillar with the AC vents, side panels and ignition surround in leather. The airbag deactivator in leather was a piece where the leather was removed from the standard leather side panel and re-glued and cut to the deactivator side panel. My Porsche dealer in Honolulu did it and it came out pretty good. The AC vents and ignition surround are from SunCoast as is the wood dash trim and shift knob.

 

Looks like you have a lot of leather and some wood as well. I would not paint it guards red, there will be too much going on visually.

Nice car though, looks to be a very well-optioned car.

 

Hey Paul. Your cab looks amazing!

 

Thanks man. it is a beast but yours is a little newer and a little faster especially with that PDK.



Let me know when you are here so you and your brother can check out the car

best

Nice TT! Please don't paint the vent covers.

 

As one of my German friends put it, "You don't vant a Klown Kar!" (Please don't paint them red.)

 

Paul, contact Eric at Bumperplugs. I bet he would know how to do it, or where to go.

 

Thanks Chris - he and I spoke the other day. We never suggest paint on the upper dash - too much reflection, and not a good place for bright color.

Leather would be nice, but we don't do it. But we're talking about some other goodies for the turbo too.

 

C'mon man...always looking out for my peeps!!
