503 Motoring || Porsche Cayman S Center Stack color match

Install and write-up done by Tim.

Here is our Center Stack color match install for His987CS. We worked with Eric from Bumper Plugs on this and were very pleased with the paint finish we received





Typical removal first.

A few days later we are opening packages and here is what we have.....







A fantastic paint finish that absolutely matches our Porsche factory paint.







Then we reverse our process and finally have beautiful center stack components ready for reassembly.











Sorry it is not more in depth, I don't want to put myself out of a job....:hilarious: But you all get the basic idea of how involved this process is.
