Interior Color Recommendation on Dark Blue Exterior

Hello fellow 6speed,

I'm am in process of finalizing my order of a 2011 Turbo S with Dark Blue exterior. I'm not sure what interior color to get. I 'm opting for the black or stone grey interior. I have the carbon package. Anyone here have any of the combo's of black, stone grey or dark grey?

Any input would be appreciated.

Don't get (boring) black. You'll get tired of it. Since you live in a warm climate, you may want something lighter in color.

I have midnight blue with the tan/sand interior. I bought used so I didn't have a choice, but it gets lots of compliments.

My 00 was Ocean Blue Metalic with Graphite Grey and carbon package, the grey was an excellent offset to the carbon. Black and carbon are very similar and wont offer much deviation or pop. I had originally ordered the blue with a black interior when my salesman said ok, it will look like a giant bruise. (his words not mine) It hit home and I was happy to have chosen grey.

I have midnite on sea blue. Sea is very dark, almost black, more of an ink.

Light interiors on dark colored cars never look right to me. And black is the BEST, hardly boring

Agree 100% Ed. Black IS best. Yellow or red stitching is a nice feature but ultimately the black wears better and is far more functional in the long run. Sea blue is an excellent choice as well....definitely worth a look. My bro has that colour and its stood up well over time as his dd. The lighter colors are fashionable and don't really wear all that well if the car is a DD....plus fashion changes. Black is timeless. To say its boring is being silly.

EXACTLY!

Deviated stitching looks awesome, especially on a high contrast material like black.

Personally,I am very happy to have chosen the full Natural Brown Leather option
I believe it is an elegant color combo and have gotten many compliments about it

how about natural brown with black or dark blue for all the stuff between the seats.


I am biased but the red is very comfortable (very sexxxy) and I haven't had one negative comment.
