Bat-looking dash piece

[ssp996]

I am getting that doncapecod bug. I ordered the trim piece (that looks like a bat) that fits in the lowermost portion of the middle dash and I am wondering if its an easy DIY thing and perhaps some step-by-step instructions. I ordered from UK prestige parts, and it has the PORSCHE logo on it. I think it will look cool. Thanks a lot!

It just snaps in and out. If you have switches then make sure you put them back on the same side.

Don't pry it. stick your hand in the storage tray and pull it right our. Then you have access to the batwing where you can push it out evenly. It's just plastic.

If you get a plain silver one you can put on any color PORSCHE logo by buying a set of brake caliper decals....just a thought. I had a silver logo on a CF batwing, but changed to the "911" I put the silver PORSCHE logo on the CF piece.

Is there a Link or something to these Batwings? I want to order one also.

Kirby,

There are at least 6 different part numbers depending on what you want. A plain (no switches) black one like in Don's pic, a 2 switch version, a 4 switch version, and various leather or CF trims. Tell me what you want and I'll post the part number.

I am in the process of changing mine at the moment. I got a quote of £69 from my porsche dealer for a boxster red one covered in leather. The dealers don't do any other coloured variants. You can only get plain black plastic ones otherwise for £3. I decided to buy one of these and customise it myself-it cant be that difficult to spray paint it and add a decal like Don has!!

Worth giving it a go as Keith at Prestige is charging £32 on ebay for a black one with a silver logo. Where can i get the Porsche decals from - can't see any UK suppliers of caliper decals.

Keith is nearly impossible to reach.. I think he is selective on who

and when he wants to sell something too.. sad.. but here is mine..

Just pops right in - very easy

The Batwing decals are available in the Renntech decal store and look SWEET!

Caliper decals and all other sorts are in there too ;-)

Hi, the 996 Millennium Edition has a natural brown leather one with "911" on it, if that helps...

I may get to Laguna Seca Sunday... I have a god-daughter event on Saturday.

OK maybe I'll see you out there!

As I do more mods I find that having a picture of the back of a trim piece helps a lot in trying to figure out where to pull, snap, pry, etc. I got my new batwing today so I'm including a pic of the back, maybe it'll help someone when they are doing their own projects:
