That interior is fantastic! Did you spec it out? Next time that's what I'm ordering, the deviating carpet really sets off the two tone interior. Beautiful, very nice Dave.

Ahhhhhhhh. I was wondering about chrono glad you posted the interior pics.

I just picked up my new Tundra. Crewmax, Limited, White with Red Rock leather. Exact same combination. Maybe not as fast......on the street

I did not spec it out. Another person special ordered the car this way and never bought it. I would never have thought of this combo of options but I simply love it. The one thing I would have loved is ceramic brakes like my 996TT. But not getting them saved me $9000!

I hope the lack of feedback on the interior is not a bad sign.

I won't be a daily. I hope to use it more then my 996TT. Black is tough, as you know.

I have found that a car is no different than a watch....use it often and don't worry about scratches, dullness, etc..a good polish 1-2 X/ year will bring it back to new!

The alacantra is an option but the thickness is standard. It does feel thicker and I think when you order the alacantra, it is automatically thicker.
