You're right it does kinda look like the SLS int.
That was actually a car I loved (roadster)... totally different thing than the 991 (actually the polar opposite) but man I got reallllllll close to buying that because I just couldn't take wait anymore... the only thing that stopped me was the fact that if you're over 6'2" you just don't fit... (I'm over 6'4").
Re 991 interior... you can change certain things but it delays the build date (can you hear me scream!?) and the selection was VERY limited, oh and they charge ridiculous $$$...
Now for most things I absolutely wanted I didn't look at the price to much (just too damn upsetting) but with the custom leather stuff it really started to feel like Porsche thought I was an idiot and could be being taken advantage off...
Also it didn't matter whether you started out with red and added black or vise-versa, with costs to the effect of $1500,- for door handles, $1700,- for center tunnel etc. etc. I said... enough!
Now I'm having it custom done and it will still cost me $$$ but at least it's my choice not to pay the extortion prices of Porsche...now I'm paying it to a custom shop instead!

I'd say the 991 boys are in for a photo treat once that car arrives

Too many metal edges protruding (and that's on pics selected to showcase how good it looks) nope, just not something my OCD can't get around.

Oh nooooo!
I just put my foot in mouth (not an entirely pleasant prospect at size 13)... this happens with me.
I just realized you've got one of the above mentioned steering wheels... and it looks very good (as I've mentioned before) so my critique was in no way intended as dis towards yours!
Just an observation which has given me pause in ordering one at this point... is my back paddling working?
Sorry Darren!

OK.... so my car is slotted to arrive at the port in 5 days and I'm going through some of the last options regarding custom work to do at the same time as the Porsche prep.
Originally I was planing to get a full red int but after sitting in one I decided that it was just a bit too much (especially in a cab under the full sun) soooo I went full black leather instead with the intention of adding red elements...
Which do you guys prefer.
All the ones with the black carpet would have Loyds mats with red piping and silver "PORSCHE" embossed.

These pics are of a GT silver coupe from a fellow 6speed member (thanks for the use!) but try to project the interior onto a black cab.
Thanks fellas!

If I was going to go with an option, I would chose number 4 because I think that when you close the door and sit inside, its probably going to be the most balanced. I like the idea of the steering wheel that Darren loaded up and agree with your comments about the stitching but Alcantara steering wheel would be a nice touch. Wait a minute... that's what I am going to put on mine when it gets here
