The Best Porsche 997 Interior Upgrades

By Tom on Wednesday, July 20, 2022

The Porsche 997’s release saw numerous aesthetical and internal improvements upon what the already successful – but slightly controversial – Porsche 996 had initially brought to the table.

One of the biggest changes on the 997, and criticisms of the 996, was the interior.

Where the inside of the Porsche 996 was eccentric and broke the mould of classic Porsches, the 997 was revised to resemble something you would expect of a typical 911 but without the associated bulk.

The initial Porsche 997 included things such as leather upholstery straight out the box, an in-built sat-nav, climate control and electric windows, and, on top of having all-around better features than the 996, the 997’s interior also felt far, far more luxury orientated.

Although the Porsche 997 and its interior has far and beyond stood the test of time, there are upgrades you can make to not only further improve it but also potentially refurbish inside areas of the car that are prone to wear.

Here are our top picks for improvements you can make to the interior of the Porsche 997.

Rennline Stainless Steel Sill Plate Overlays. Porsche 996/986/997/987/Cayman

Rennline Stainless Steel Sill Plate Overlays. 

Sold as a set of 2

Since Porsche already did such a beautiful job with the insignia that they recessed into their factory sill plates. We decided to leave perfection alone and just improve on the area that needs attention. As you are already aware, the 996 has an extremely wide door sill that makes getting in and out very difficult without dragging your feet across that big black plastic factory sill plate. Scratches were virtually impossible to avoid until now. 

Rennline has created a 300-series stainless steel sill plate that will cover any existing scratches and avoid any new ones. Best of all, installation is effortless. No more pulling off that factory sill plate hoping the paint doesn’t come with it. Rennline’s new sill plate design installs over the top of the factory plastic unit allowing your Porsches logo to still be seen. All sill plate sets come with the double-sided adhesive applied to the back ready for a 5 min installation. Available with an oval or factory-style square logo cutout.
