Nicest Interiors in a 997TT

Hi Guys,
I am getting ready to buy a 997TT in either Black or Slate Grey and I am think ing of either beige or creme color leather ... Maybe black, but I want to be different. I am thinking about a full Makassar Wood Trim, or full Sycamore wood trim, or full CF.

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'm partial to Cocoa, but on a black car go black interior with as much leather and dev stitching as possible. That will look hot. IMO wood looks out of place, CF can also look cheap if not done tastefully.

I think that the cocoa interior with any color is hot and classy. Forget the carbon and dont even think of the wood. Get everything you can wrapped in leather with a deviating stitch; Thats the way to go IMO.

I'm biased, but I like Sand Beige: http://homepage.mac.com/cnicholson1/TurboPickup/

Leather center console + alum handbrake + special shifter


I love this with Cobalt, but with Black paint, I might stick with black or grey leather....

Love the cobalt pics too....only thing I'd consider is leather steering column to eliminate the black, leather fuse panel, and leather PCM face. And get that guy's face outta my door.

My personal favourite is the Sand Biege in a Black Car. Thanks for the pics of the Cobalt too, those look awesome.

I've got Slate over cocoa. Could not be happier. The brown accent in the slate works perfect w/ the cocoa. I thought it would look good, but I definitely had a few moments of doubt during my wait. I am really happy with it. I also got the carbon package which I was really nervous about. Also, very happy with it. It takes away just a few of the cheap looking plastic aluminum lines without going too far.

Wood is strange. It's actually beatifully done but looks like a** in these cars. Don't know why. I've been in aston's and others that make my mouth water with the wood. Does not work in a p-car though.

Kush: Do you happen to have any pics of the Slate/Cocoa? That sounds like it would look killer but I haven't seen any. It'd be great if you had some pics.

The carbon fibre looks killer. Not like the cheap aftermarket stuff...Porsche, Ferrari & Lambo do that right. I don't like wood in a sports car, leather or painted is good...mix it up.

Wood interior is for a MBZ - not a Porsche!
