I love the Lava color. Black interior would be my choice and CF is possible that would be the trim.

 

I was torn between the lava orange and a more traditional color. In the end, I went with my heart and went with the lava. The painted option was a little too busy for me and the carbon fiber a little too dark. I went with the aluminum package.

 

Interesting, brushed aluminum? The configurator looks bad/cheesy, I bet they look awesome in real life.
I kid of like the standard polished aluminum look, but the wife doesn't care for it.
I had black with carbon fiber in the past. I loved it, but the door sill had a deep scratch. Possibly my wife's heel, or a rock stuck in my shoe sole. Either way it pissed me off everytime I looked at it.

 

I almost always go carbon fiber, but I really liked my buddy's GT4 with the brushed aluminum package. Also with the bright orange exterior color, I felt that it made the black interior seem even darker.

The stock polished seems so thin and flimsy. The brushed is just more substantial (at least it looks and feels that way to me).

Suncoast pics give you an idea of how it looks.

I don't like to buy Porsches in the more common colors. I don't care about the impact of color on resale value. My first 911 was Midnight Blue Metallic. My second 911 was Macadamia Metallic. My current 911 is Mahogany Metallic. I think it's fun to buy something different. Lava Orange looks great, in my opinion.

 

My mother had a saying that I use to this day with employees. "If you have to ask, the answer is no".
Not sure if fits here, but this is my reply.
