Hi Guys

I am thinking of having my PCM faceplate carbon-fibred. Does anyone here know how to remove the faceplate? is it possible to remove the faceplate without removing the PCM? I am driving a 997 C2S.

Thanks.

These guys take them off all the time. It sounds like you take the

sides off first and then you pry it off.

Ask an expert before going any further.

Caution: It isn't as easy as it appears. Bumperplugs does repaint the face plates, but only if you remove everything first and send them the piece. It requires removal of the complete PCM module, and then the removal of all the buttons etc. so that only the face is left. It is not for the faint hearted or anyone not experienced in disassembling a complex device like this. I'd be surprised if you can even get one in carbon fiber. Re-painting alone runs around $300 I believe. Do a search on the 6speedonline forum, as I think it was discussed there at some length in 2008.

yah.. I agree... bumperplugs was VERY VERY helpful in sending me the instructions... but after looking at that, I can honestly say it is not for the faint of heart. Many thanks for this advice. Cheers.

It is very important to get as much information as

possible before you do any work.

That is why we rely on pro's to do the work that us mortals

can not do.
