I am talking about the wood trim. Car is Seal Gray C2S. I think it is very refreshing, and classy. What is your opinion.

Not for me. IMHO it might be 'OK' in a Lexus but not a Porsche.

It would suit a rolls royce or a GT car but not a 911.

Many have the monocolor black, grey, beige, or natural interiors. Some add deviating floor mats or some carbon fiber trim pieces. Very few go with the sycamore or makassar wood trim. I added the sycamore center console and shift **** to my sand beige leather interior. I've got lots of leather - including the back shelf and the subwoofer. I also have the supple leather seats. So, I chose the wood to create a contrast and maintain the "classy" look. I think that carbon fiber or a painted console would have looked odd in my car. It's my car and 95% of the time I'm the only one looking at the interior. And despite having a classy interior, I can still win my class in autocross.

It is obviously a personal choice. I've never been a fan of wood trim in Carreras. But if you like it, go for it.

This is one of the cars on my shopping list. I have a couple of more to look at tomorrow. Actually very excited. This trim threw me off. First I was "why" then more I look at it, more I liked it. Personally I am with the majority. It is only acceptable with beige/brown tones though.

Doesn't belong on a 911 whatsoever

Without the silver-ish door handle could be a lot better. This combination might not be for most of us, but it's certainly interesting.

It might be the pic, but the trim in that pic looks cheap to me, almost like a plastic...

Not a fan of woodtrim in general but I think it also depends on the car and how it blends in with the interior. To me, the trim in that pic sticks out like it does not belong. My wife's Eclass has the dark wood trim, with black interior and aluminum accents and it all blends together very nicely.

Just my opinion, which shouldn't mean much..
