1. Search Original and Used Parts
Start with the most direct sources:
- eBay — best for used OEM parts. Search terms like:
→Porsche 928 center console lid OEM
→Porsche 928 interior parts used - Porsche forums and Facebook groups
- “Porsche 928 Owners Club” or “Porsche 928 Enthusiasts” often have members selling parts.
- Specialist breakers (dismantlers)
Websites like:- 928 International
- Porsche Classic Parts
- Only944.com (they make new 944 & 928 interior pieces)
- Design911.co.uk
🧰 2. Aftermarket or Reproduction Parts
If OEM is gone, check for reproduction:
- Some small shops re-make parts with modern materials (leather, ABS, fiberglass, or 3D-printed).
- Example: only944.com makes interior trim, knobs, and covers to factory spec.
You can often email them a photo and ask if they can reproduce your exact lid or refer you to someone who can.
🧑🎨 3. Custom Upholstery / Restoration Shops
A car interior or upholstery shop can:
- Rebuild the console lid from the original frame.
- Recover it with leather or vinyl close to factory texture.
- Add new foam or hinges if needed.
This is often cheaper than importing a used one and looks new.
🖨️ 4. 3D Printing or CNC Reproduction
If the part is small or has a unique shape:
- You can scan the broken or missing part with a 3D scanner (or phone app like Polycam).
- Then print in ABS or resin and finish it with paint or leather wrap.
- Some enthusiasts upload their 3D models to sites like Thingiverse or Printables.com — worth searching for “Porsche 928 console”.
🧑🤝🧑 5. Join Enthusiast Networks
These groups are gold mines:
- Rennlist (Porsche 928 Forum)
- Pelican Parts Forum
- Facebook groups like “Porsche 928 Owners”
Members often share parts lists, cross-reference numbers, or even organize group buys.
🧾 6. Check for Part Numbers
Always look up the OEM part number (often printed inside the lid).
With that number, you can:
- Search eBay and Google directly (e.g.
928.552.223.02). - Find compatible versions from different years (sometimes 1983–1986 lids fit later models with minor changes).
