I have the cocoa interior in my TT Cab and love it. Although Porsche shows carbon fibre with cocoa in their 'Exclusive' catalogue, I think the standard aluminum look shifter and trim strip look fine. I'm not a big fan of CF or aluminum door sills. I'd spend some money on some leather snd painted interior options instead. I also think the multifunction wheel is a waste and would get the thicker sport wheel. You may want to consider:

Leather sunvisors (the stock plastic ones are a disgrace)
Model logo 'Turbo' on the center arm rest
Center console painted to lighten up the interior


If you want to spend crazy money get the trim strip, vent slats and PCM in white also. Maybe the door finishers and instrument surround too!

What about LSD? Adaptive Sport Seats? We can paint the console for you after delivery for half the price of the factory option, so keep that in mind if it's not leather.

Thanks ESK. I agree on the multi function wheel, but I prefer the aesthetics as opposed to the standard wheel. Now that you mention the leather visors, I am going to take a look at my 07 Coupe and see how the standard visors look. I anticipate that the top will be lowered most of the time so maybe the leather will look a lot better. I think the Turbo logo on the center arm rest will tie in nicely with the logo in the headrests.

The new folding leather bucket seats would look great in a cab, IMO. also, why not get the standard visors and then order the leather replacememnts from Carnewal.com WITHOUT the safety stcikers. I did that for my 07 C4S and plan to do the saame for the Turbo.

I just ordered a set from Gert at Carnewal (my car came with the standard sunvisors) and they're more than double the cost of the factory ordered option. The airbag warning stickers can be removed with an adhesive remover without damaging the leather.

Mike:

Thanks for the pics. I haven't seen the car yet. I'm glad that I chose the white/cocoa combo.

You know, I followed the instructions for cleaning the visors plastic EXACTLY, and with no sticky film left, I could see the outline everytime I looked at the visor. Paying more for no line was ok by me

My c4s was white/cocoa. Great combination!!
