My center console is a bit sticky in places, especially the aircon panel - any suggestions? As I already have carbon fiber door sills, I am considering a carbon fiber replacement for the whole unit, but have been told that the instument lights will then not shine through at night. Anyone done this? Please enlighten me.

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=173536&highlight=sticky+console+355 CF is one way to go or you can refinish the console and have it look almost like new--pic below of one I did for a fellow Fchatter.. Image Unavailable, Please Login
wow 285 nice work.....I am starting to look for my car finally, was tossing around 550 or 355, big difference but I have decided to go 355. My wife liked the look of the 355 and she said she did not care because it would be sort of my car(not that is a deciding factor but wanted some positive review....how long will that attitude last. Especially when she drives it. Unfortunaletly for me she knows how to drive a stick. My first wife did not, so she could not drive my 911.

PYRO and 285, Thanks for the tips. I will have a look at the search function. Wish me luck! 285, You work looks great. Does the colour match with the other panels?
The overlay is a close match, but not perfect---That is the only way the overlay comes since it made of a thick sticker material, but looks very nice..
I have the textured paint, but no one so far has wanted it---Most everyone wants the stock smooth finish on the knobs... I can do a textured, flat black or rubberized finish for the knobs---Each set of knobs is slightly different. So I use whichever finish will look the best. Some knobs are so bad a textured finish would look best , but not stock looking
285ferrari, do you sell these ? Just wondering in case I come to need some in the future ? Are there any other interior parts you sell ? Any website ? Thanks Ulf
Ricambi sells the overlay (Fchat sponsor). You can also search for Pyroguy. My threads will come up when I refinished the sticky parts and used the Ricambi overlay. I didn't paint the knobs, just cleaned/stripped the old finish. You can also see a comparison on one of my threads on 2 different types of plastic paint finishes.
Like Steve said above---I get the overlay from Ricambi. Most every interior part can be refinished with great success, but new parts are always available from Ricambi if you choose that route..... I will be listing the refinishing service I offer on the 355 registry site soon..
Thanks 285 I did my hvac panel and the nicer it looks the worse the knobs look. Im gonna try the textured on them also....... Chas
