I had CF seat backs in my 997.2 and the rest of the interior was standard full leather with some brushed silver trim on the dash and elsewhere. IMHO, it looked good. The black/grey elements in the weave will pick up the black and gray in the interior of the GT3 and look fine, IMHO. Just my $.02; not suggesting you shouldn't get CF trim if you want it.

Mike, that's helpful. I lock next week and this is one of a couple things I am still back and forth on... I appreciate the pic. I think if anything I think I would do the anthracite trim... but then not sure what to do with the door sills, etc.

Anthracite would look nice. It will be a darker look, but nothing wrong with that. Some folks really like doing fancy bits on the door sills and again, they look nice. My personal feeling is that door sills are a bit like the extended leather trim on the doors; the doors are closed 95% of the time and you don't see them anyway, but I suppose that's a practical and not very artistic perspective. ;-)

I did carbon illuminated sills with anthracite trim. I have seen that combo in person and think it looks awesome. I didn't want carbon throughout the interior, and the base interior and the standard aluminum was to too bright for me.

My car arrives in a couple weeks. Sounds like it will be too late for you by then.

I lock next week (not this week), so maybe for both our benefit your car will come in soon I would love to see that combination. I was worried with the bright aluminum on steering wheel, shifter, etc. that it would be too many different things going on -- CF on seats, different CF trim on door sills, anthracite, etc.

I think we have the same lock date. At this stage I've got CF interior and CF door sills - think I will leave it that way, but still a little undecided.

Well. It's unlikely unless we can place a call to the captain to speed the boat up. I think It gets in to port on the 29th.

Nope - still sitting in Brunswick "awaiting transport", a brisk 5 hour drive away. It's been sitting there a week now. What did you end up ordering?
