I love this with Cobalt, but with Black paint, I might stick with black or grey leather....
Nice car and nice dealership (that guy should be cleaning mine in a few weeks). Quick question, did Sonnen swap out the rims for you or did the car come in with that option? I didn't realize that there was another rim selection for the turbo? Drive safe and keep your eyes out for the CHP. 101 is crawling with them!

Farris, its your call but there are a few leather options that really make the interior come to life and give it that handmade touch. I would get the leather center console with the Porsche logo on top, leather visors, leather dome lamp cover, thicker steering wheel, and if you want to take it to the next level get the leather steering column,gear lever trim in leather,door finishers in leather, and inner sill parts release in leather. I think that should do it. Wood is not my thing either but its your car and you should build it exactly to your liking. I can't think of too many car companies that offer such a vast array of options/colors etc. Thats the beauty of it all. I would also look at a lot of photos of people's interiors, thats the best way to make up your mind because its not easy finding these custom options sitting around on a car lot. Take your time and do it right. Posting on 6speed is a good starting point! Lots of information and photos to look at.

I am am looking for a jaw dropping interior.

Can you guys post pics of some awesome interioirs so I can get some ideas?

Any guidance is much appreciated.
I agree with everyone, eschew wood. Go ALL leather, sand beige looks good with black. I'm going to go with GT silver with natural brown leather when I get mine.

I like the switch panel option, it takes the "busy" aluminum vents and blends in the dashboard nicely.

Base interior is great.

I have the base interior, standard guages, no extra leather around the phone, no carbon, I think its looks great.

Regular base whatever is great IMO. All the carbon stuff to the fullest(which I had) was not worth all that extra coin IMO. I think that the nicest interiors in Porsche's are the ones with the most leather.
Another thing I like is when you get the sport seats painted(backs)

I have to agree with pretty much everyone else.. I think wood in a sports car, especially a Porsche, looks like ****. Carbon fiber and aluminum in moderation look good if you really want to get fancy-schmancy.

I agree also. I have the aluminum colored center console, and all the leather options -- I couldn't be happier with the way it came out.

Don't be shy. Get the Colbalt blue with the special order Speed Yellow interior.
