Question MUST HAVE OPTIONS & Interior Combinations

Ok Guys,
I am specing my car and need some advice.


I am leaning towards Non Metallic Black with either creme or sand beige interior:


Questions:
  • How would Creme with with Carbon Trim and Leather Covered PCM look?
  • How would 2tone Creme and Black with with Carbon Trim and Leather Covered PCM look?
  • What are the must have options?
So far I have narrowed it down to this:

OPTION 1:
- Gloss Black with Creme Interior:
  • Tiptronic S (Starting to think Manual)
  • Sport Chrono Package
  • Leather Covered PCM
  • Embroidered Headrest
  • Telephone Module
  • Extened Nav Module
  • Sunroof
  • Adaptive Sports Seats
  • Heated Seats
  • Floor Mats
  • Steering Column Leather
  • Rear Section of Center Console Leather
  • Carbon Fiber Wheel
  • Carbon Fiber Door Finishers
  • Carbon Package
  • Wheels Painted in Exterior Colour
OPTION 2:
Non-Metallic Black Exterior with Full Creme (Magnolia) Interior:
  • Tiptronic S (Starting to think Manual)
  • Sport Chrono Package
  • Leather Covered PCM
  • Embroidered Headrest
  • Telephone Module
  • Extened Nav Module
  • Sunroof
  • Adaptive Sports Seats
  • Heated Seats
  • Floor Mats
  • Steering Column Leather
  • Rear Section of Center Console Leather
  • Leather 3 spoke Multifunction Wheel
  • Leather Door Finishers
  • Leather Switch Panel
  • Leather Package
  • Leather Roof
  • Leather Sun Vicors
  • Leather Light Cover
  • Wheels Painted in Exterior Colour
OPTION 3:
Non-Metallic Black Exterior with 2Tone Black and Creme (Magnolia) with Black Double Stiching:
  • Tiptronic S (Starting to think Manual)
  • Sport Chrono Package
  • Leather Covered PCM
  • Embroidered Headrest
  • Telephone Module
  • Extened Nav Module
  • Sunroof
  • Adaptive Sports Seats
  • Heated Seats
  • Floor Mats
  • Steering Column Leather
  • Rear Section of Center Console Leather
  • Carbon Fiber Wheel
  • Carbon Fiber Door Finishers
  • Carbon Package
  • Wheels Painted in Exterior Colour
  • Wheels Painted in Exterior Colour
If you like Option 3 please specify what parts should be black and what parts should be creme.


You Guys are Awesome!!! Thanks for the Help

A Photoshop of Option 3 would be great.

In the FWIW department...... the TIP would also be my next choice when I eventually get into a Turbo (they work great), the double-stiching has a HUGE impact on what the interior looks like (on the positive)............one item Im not sure you have there.......Do they offer the thicker steering wheel?

Leather, leather and lots of leather. Do different color stitching, bright color shows up very good on black.

I've got a white car, sports seats with red stiching and white matching backs. (also red belts). So the Red belts, red double stiching against the black interior shows nice.................Im not 100% sure what your color is (I need to go online and look).

Oh..........question.........If your going for black exterior, have you given any thought to the Basalt style of black?

I've been Driving my cousins 997TT for a while now, and stick is the only way to go, forget the tip. I would probably go with Basalt Black/terracotta int or Chestnut interior even the Natural Brown, but I would def go for the Full Leather.

I have not seen Basalt Black in person, but I tend to prefer the glossy pure black colour.

Can you PLEASE post some pics of your interior

In about 4 weeks or so I will take a lot of interior shots for you folks that are leather lovers. I'm getting Gt Silver/ Black interior with the following leather options (not standard). Leather center console w/porsche "turbo" logo, switch panel package (total blackout of the front vents in leather), leather steering column, leather visors, leather dome lamp trim, leather headliner/includes A/B Pilliar, leather sill parts release lever, leather door finishers, leather interior package A pilliar, gear lever trim in leather, instrument surround in leather, fuse box trim in leather, thicker leather steering wheel, Porsche crest in headrest, adaptive sport seats, heated front seats, Sport Chrono , Axle differential, door guards in Stainless steel illuminated, gear lever/handbrake alu. leather, sport shifter, Painted model desig. rear lid, and headlight cleaner ext color. The only options I did not get in leather were the seatbacks covered in leather (neices will scuff them up in no time) and the PCM in leather (think that was a mistake)? I'm going for the total blackout look with very little aluminum showing.

Love how you spec'd your Turbo, Farris please dont go with Magnolia its a Bentley's colour and I dont think it suites a Posche.

Go with Black/Black and terracotta two tone.
Rear Centre console in leather.
black seat belts.
Terracotta speedo gauges.
Turbo logo on arm rest
rear centre console in leather
Thicker sports steering wheel
leather switch panel
roof lining in leather
pcm in exterior colour " black"
Stiching for the Seats in Black
Stitching for the door panels, roof in terracotta
Porsche emblem embroided on the seats
Back of the Seats in Black
Turbo emblem in lipstick red
black insets for the wheels

Question

Ok Guys after reflecting on what you all have stated in your post here is what I am thinking of doing:

Black Exterior with 2tone black and White/Creme Interior as follows:

The entire interior will be black except the following White/Cream Areas:
  • Center of seat cushions and backrest
  • PCM Unit
  • Center Console White/Cream and Carbon Fiber
  • Middle Of Door behind the arm rest with arm rest in Carbon Fiber
  • Center and Middle Sections of the sides of the Multifunction steering wheel
  • Cream along the glove box and under sterring wheel
Carbon Pieces:
  • Center Console
  • Door Arm Rests
  • Hand Brake and Shifter
  • Carbon Package (Ac Vents and replacent aluminum line across dash)
  • Carbon Y Pillaron steering Wheel
Other Bits:
  • Floor Mats will have Black with white piping along edges
  • The Entire car will have White/Cream deviated stiching

The idea behind this is for the car to be seperated into 3 sections:
  • 1/3 of car in Black; I.E. Top of Dash(Section Above the steering wheel and glove box, as well as top trim on the doors)
  • 1/3 Middle of Dash and Doors White/Creme (Door Centers behind door Handles, Center Console where no Carbon is possible, PCM Unit, Glove Box, Middle of Steering Wheel)
  • 1/3 Lower Half Black (Floor Mats, Carpeting on Doors, Speaker Covers)
- All Aluminum Trims Will Be Replaced By Carbon

I hope what I have explained makes enough sense for you guys to visualize it.

Please let me know your thoughts/ideas/

Photoshop would really be helpful

Thanks for all the help
