A tiny upgrade.

But one that I love. Just cleans up the interior a tad. Always bugged me in the S2000 cabin, but thanks to an enterprising fellow on eBay, solved!!

I mean I know the safety nannies need to have their say and all, but this one always seemed a bit ridiculous to me. Cooler heads prevail in Europe (perhaps being less litigious) but the solution here is an expensive one.

Replacing the part is a ridiculous $1200 option from Suncoast Porsche Parts. Instead, this fix was $20. Thank you Internet.

Can you spot it?

I was thinking of buying the same. I assume you are talking about the vinyl sticker covers for the uber ugly safety stickers?

Here's the thread that Larry started a year ago on this topic - January 2023.

viewtopic.php?t=1423

I've been using a particular brand (Sunvisor Solutions) of covers on every car going back to 2007. Originally found out about them via the Corvette forum long ago. I like that they have a color/fabric swatch for $5.95 that helps to (hopefully) pick the correct color shade.

Yup, it was that thread and link Larry provided that led me to the eBay offering that I ended up with. I was researching it long before even getting my allocation :lol: :lol: :lol: Gotta say I'm extremely happy with the colour matching, and it just cleans up what is otherwise a fuss-free interior. Although I could do without the silly cupholder icon too....

Tiny things for tiny minds as my mum would say 8-)

I used the rubbing alcohol/elbow grease/patience method. Worked fine and I didn't drink any of the alcohol.
