My car is Midnight blue, natural brown on the inside, with deviating carpet (metropol blue). The center is all natural brown leather and in the context of the above is awesome....if you have a choice....the dark carpet (if possible) really sets of the car and natural leather has held up well to my two kids in the back (boys). They know to behave in daddy's car, but they are still boys, so walk, drive matchbox cars, etc., on things.


If I painted my car interior, I have some bumperplugs from Eric....nice quality. He is also a board sponsor....fwiw. Me, I like the aluminum tequipment look....just me.

OK, since the topic was broached, how about some honest criticism on my interior.

Paint the vents and strip back to black and it will look just right

Thanks

Thanks, I like it too. It was part of the Turbo S package.

I think I will do just the rear center console, otherwise it is too overly done. Would a silver or aluminum look center console look weird for a speed yellow?

Tom, the interior is very similar to mine. Is that the same steering wheel as mine? It looks a little different without the yellow stitching.

personally, I really like it. I think porsche interiors

tend to be on the spartan side so the console adds a nice touch (just the center though not the whole dashboard like the yellow one posted)

Oak,

Did you do the white gauge faces? (or are they factory?)

I love the white gauges (and have even thought of red?)
