Aluminum 'Upgrades'
bigbotate replied to bigbotate's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
no-all those products are what I am complaining about alu-loo :angry: k= painted plastic. If you go on ebay-there is a guy who will sell you exactly the same product ( center console) for 200 bucks and gives you 100 for your console. So oem 'plastic' ranges from $405 to $750 and all they do is add paint! Capitalism is live and well! -
A newbie, 996 and eBay

I have purchased 3 cars on the web. All from the u..S. (I am in montreal). Twice privately and once from a dealer.Last car purchased (privately) in new jersey 6 weeks age. Its a 2004 c4s cabriolet. When I buy a car privately I always buy with at least 9 months of manuf. Warranty. I only buy from the original owner and I won't buy a leased car ( if you don't own it-you don't respect it). If the original owner ( or dealer) doesn't have the servicing booklet or says they don't have the original purchase papers-i stay away. I give a $5000 deposit-have it checked out by an independant dealership and then fly down-hand over my hard earned money-take the keys -put the roof down-and hit the road. I have never been disappointed! -
I am new to this game. I just purchased a 2004 cabriolet c4s in the u.S. And drove it back to Canada. I wanted to 'personalize it with aluminum upgrades -door sills and lids,center console-and to my surprise-all porsche can come up with is painted plastic !!!! Are there any aftemarket products out there that are actually aluminum???

When you say it doesn't match the interior aluminum-i ask-what aluminum!! Granted the stock shift and handbrake upgrades are real aluminum but from what I can see-all other upgrades ars simply painted plastic!!! Am I wrong??
