Looking for some honest opinions . I was looking to wake up interior and usually I would go with carbon fiber but wanted it to pop a little more. So I took some trim off prepared it and had it painted to match exterior. I like the outcome but am not sure if its too much? Don't want it to look cheap and I know I'll get honest opinions from you guys. Thanks in advance ...

 

I'm not loving it, but it's the steering wheel that's the way over-the top-part. Without that, it might work OK if you wanted some red highlights.

I prefer CF interior trim as it gives a contrasting pattern to the black interior but isn't as in your face.

 

To me it is steering wheel and door sills that I think should be black. Just trying to figure it out. Thanks for response

 

I'm on the same boat regarding sprucing up the interior (mine is Carrara White). I think the center console looks good and maybe incorporate red stitching on the steering wheel or red gauge faces. I would remove all the other red painted stuff. Looks a bit too plastic-like. I'm not big on carbon fiber because too much of it can look cheap. **Just my opinion.

 

Nope not at all. Not liking the doors or key/light switches painted. Along with what others have already mentioned. But at the end of the day who cares what people think "you do you" and enjoy it how you want to enjoy it. Just be mindful of the Porsche community if/when you decide to sell it, may wanna return to original. My first 911 had the painted option and over time it will rub off or show wear, easy to scratch. Since then I have never been a fan of any painted interior. So my opinion may be bias ,and my current interior is full leather/carbon fiber.

 

I think it is a bit too much.
If you don't mind the added expense, have someone fabricate you carbon fiber with red kevlar weaving - that will make it pop more.

 

Doors, steering wheel, front dash speaker covers and rear side panels are too much contrast for me.

Echo what was said before, your car, your call.

Like the pedals, where did you get them?

 

Looks good do the seat-backs, keep door sills and console,not the doors trim or steering wheel. Definitely an A+ for effort.

 

Thanks for responses. I enjoy trying different looks to see what works best .

 

Never go full red

 

I would not have done the steering wheel and center console.

 

Steering wheel trim, door handles, trim near the door speakers, vents on the dash, and whatever those circular things are behind the seats should go black or maybe metallic silver; it's too much in my eyes. The rest looks good!

Not a 911, but I did something similar with my BRZ a few years back with a coachworks company; kept it fairly monochromatic but enhanced the materials quality (the silver pieces were supposed to come out more of a dark chrome but they were sprayed over a white basecoat rather than a black basecoat):

 

Like it! add red gauge faces

 

A little is good a lot is not so good. JMHO.
