um. . . it is a simple cheap fix.

I used this to change the color of my 535is interior during a restoration. Worked perfectly. You can do that interior in black or dark gray, (you have to go darker then the blue) for a couple hundred bucks and a few weekends of your time.

Here is a shot of a 993 armrest that started life as gray, and I dyed black as a cheap replacement:

Tom

 

was registered as a corporate car, in PA as the first owner

 

 

I understand that they could be dyed, but you are stillleft with two tone seats, dash, doors, consoles... If the gray was actually black, no issue. But light gray as the primary interior color with dark accents just doesn't sound appealling. The seats would need to be recovered and all of the blue trim would need to be replaced to get a normal looking interior. I didn't even make an offer. I knew the value I saw was substantially less than what they wanted. I left after giving them my number and saying, "Call me when it doesn't sell." - more or less.

Though part of me wants to take the challenge... I love white.

 

Just dye the whole thing black. It is really simple . . .

 

That's exactly what I was thinking. I'll give em 25-26 and gut that awfulness for a black/CF interior.

 

If the blue is a match for one of the regular paint codes the dealer should just offer to swap interiors with someone who has the a blue car with a grey int so that they can get a normal white/grey car to sell. The cost of the labor should more than cover the reduced value in the car, and I'm sure there is someone who has a blue car that would actually like to have the blue accents in the interior.

 

It may work with cobalt. May. But not with others. You should really see it. The gray and blue are horrid together.

 

porsche ordered or aftermarket, that makes me want to cry

 

I think this pic sums it up

 

Wow I saw the add loading and thought, wait there's nothing wrong with this and then saw the interior pics. Unreal. I bet they have a hard time selling it. Geez.

 

Trust me - they will get a guy that says "wow thats the nicest interior Ive seen!" and buy it!

 

Some one that's color blind or really blind and then it's only a maybe.

 

Not even sure what to say

 

I would have liked to seen the faces on the workers at the factory when they got the build sheet.. Even better I will bet that the person who ordered it went to the factory and drove it out and about then they shipped it.. There was an other contractor in a bid opening and he was yapping about doing that. He had all the wood put in his. tip too.
