It will look good. However, the carrera red is too bright for me so I did not go for it. Too bad the Porsche does not offer two tone black/red or darker red will be best.
By the way, attache some pictures for your reference.
Dark blue (I think it is not so good as it appeared under the spot light at the IAA)



Agate grey/ pebble grey



Black/Platinum grey

stunning bi-colored interior, very classy, matches the exterior color brilliantly!

Agreed catchmyshadow.

Would this interior look good in the Dark Blue?

i think it looks perfect with the agate exterior but i think it wouldn`t look bad with the dark blue either.

Get full leather - PERIOD. If you have to trade off full leather to get PSE or something else, your bottom line doesn't warrant the purchase of this car and you are under water at this level. No offense to anyone intended but if you are considering a $120,000 car, and you are swapping out $1700 options to afford another $1700 option, you need to think about what might happen if you lose your job.

Again - no offense intended - most of us were at that point in our lives. And always could be again.

I have pretty much decided on my options; Carrera S, manual, full leather, PSE and likely no sunroof. All that I have left to do is finalize the exterior and interior colors.

My concern has always been to choose the right options so that I wouldn't kick myself down the road and save enough $$ to buy other items that I will enjoy. This car is a gift to myself not a bank.

Agate grey/ pebble grey looks nice but it will quite difficult to keep clean. I think it similar to the Mercedes' Ash interior.
Black/Platinum grey is an alternative to agate/pebble grey with a darker tone.
For the dark blue I prefer black/platinum grey. The demo car at IAA is Dark blue with platinum grey interior.

I'd go dark blue/black - too bad they don't have that natural leather tone anymore. Saddle color. That would rock with blue. Can't do gray myself. Too cool temperature wise.

EDIT- My Bad - that black/Platinum combo looks great! That might be the way to go. Porsche used much better stone colors than historically. Typically I think "Ford Escort gray velour interior". Cold and bland

I will keep saying this, full leather on a car at this price point is a must. I also cannot believe it is not standard now on the 991 for what they charge.
