Interior B-pillar trim

[Flying ace]

I actually ordered what I think are the correct parts - will report back when I get them/if they're indeed correct.

My upper B-pillar trims are already Race-Tex (standard in the GTS) but the seat belt outlets are of the adjustable (slide up/down a little) variety - don't think there's a Race-Tex version of that for the Taycan, as the material would probably mess with the adjustability. I think that part you linked to @Flying ace is a 911 part...

Ah yes, I check my car yesterday (also GTS), and the upper b-pillar is already in Race-tex.

Yeah let me know if the part number is correct color, and any tips on removing the trim piece

Update: according to the parts supplier ECS Tuning uses for these, the parts I ordered are indeed the black Race-Tex versions of the lower b-pillar trim:

I grabbed that image from the current configurator for a Taycan GTS, so it looks like the Race-Tex version of that panel is standard now. ...which could explain the parts now being available? Making lots more of them...

Anywho, the part numbers (for black Race-Tex versions) are:
9J1-867-239-D-OX7 (link)
9J1-867-240-D-OX7 (link)

The base part numbers for the two sides are:
9J1-867-239
9J1-867-240

...and the suffixes after that are for the different colors & finishes. Shop around a bit for the best prices... When I bought mine from ECS Tuning they were $177 per side but they're $190ish per side now. Most reputable Porsche parts stores should be able to get them - Pelican Parts, Sunset Porsche Parts, etc.

I actually first searched for the base part numbers @ Sunset Porsche Parts (239 one, 240 one) and searched the page for "pillar" to find the interior b-pillar trim ones, and they've got all the different colors stated in the descriptions, but determining the finish took a little more work. Price-wise, there's a divide as well - a bunch of colors are only like $98 but others are up around $177. My assumption was the cheap ones are the textured plastic and the expensive ones are Race-Tex (or leather I suppose). ChatGPT was helpful in sussing out which is which. So if you're looking for lower B-pillar trim pieces in a different color than black, or you want leather or whatever instead of Race-Tex, look at the different suffixes listed there and ask ChatGPT what the finish is or cross-reference on eBay etc.

Hope this is helpful! I'll definitely follow up when the parts arrive (special order parts, supposed to ship August 24th) and after I install them...

190$ each side seems quite cheap.

Would make the change also if it turns out to be the right part and if it's an easy DYI switch.
