Wish the pictures were higher quality. Looks like it has some nice upgrades though.

great car and decent mods but it's the interior that ruins it for me ---

people either seem to love it or hate it, personally i really dont like it and passed on a number of cars because of it

a friend of mine has it on his basalt 996 but has has various black accents which make it look a lot nicer

80 shilling ... yes huge difference to me with the silver accents; it looks way better. btw what type of mat/covering are you using on your driver side floor board?

Sorry, I don't know.. it came with the Car. I do like it, because it consists of an almost round waffle type pattern that stops dirt and stuff from flying around the place and I can just pick the mat up and dump whatever's trapped...

Wood and Natrual Color leather only go well with certain colors (black, dark blue, carmon red)... not silver.

The wood just doesn't look right in a Porsche (911, boxster, cayman) IMO. The interiors are not plush, not a bunch of hoopla, they are all business. Trying to add wood to them goes against the design of the interior in every way possible.

Just my opinion, the two do not mix. If someone can post a picture of one that looks good with wood grain in it I'd be very surprised.

I actaully had many many compliments while pumping gas at gas stations about they've never known how luxury a Porsche interior can be.
