I disagree, it would look worst because you would see the interior much more. At least on the coupe you can tint the windows. I think cream interior should only be paired with colors or maybe even white.

I like a lot of contrast between the interior and exterior- this is about as much as you can get I guess.

not kidding on that.

massive contrast with black interior pieces I'm afraid would burn the retina like a Rorschach inkblot image... Veyron for comparison (for only an add'l $900K)

I like it as well. Tough to keep clean, I'm sure - definetly wouldn't want it as a daily driver. But different.

I think it would look good with a different exterior. As for the glare .. I went with a two-tone terracotta to keep it down.

Love It, but I'd have ordered the black top dash for glare. My old 944 s2 was "Linin" color leather nd it was terriffic. Light colors are especially good in the cabs.

Looks yummy! I love the deviated carpets, wheel and shifter.

My 04 MB 500 coupe was black over cream including the carpets... a ***** to keep clean but looked awesome! FYI: My car's upper dash was about 5 shades darker than the rest of the interior which helped with glare, just wished it had the black deviated carpets etc like this 997.

The owner of that car probably has a really good detailer (who is hating life right about now ).
