Default Interior color for guards red c2

New here and going to be new Porsche owner. I like the guards red car. What is best looking standard interior. Concerned on reorts of dashboard reflection with the tan color. Other color exterior and interior suggestions.
Thanks and great site.

My vote is for all black.. Might get tired of the red stitching down the road.

I'll break the tie. Black leather with deviating red stitching. Assuming you think it looks good in the first place, there's no reason you should get tired of it.

I would go for a two-tone with Black dash and steering wheel and beige for the rest.

^This if you won't tire of the deviated stitching... if you may, then black leather interior with normal (black) stitching.

I have the black with red stitching. Love it.

You'll be fine with plain black stitching. And happier (though somewhat impecunious) with red.

Also... I find it hard to believe that it is likely to tire of red stitching... I could certainly see tiring of a red interior, but the stitching is subtle and classy. Just the little bit of "pop" to take it from "standard" to "special"...

Red stitching on black leather would pop for sure. If you have the sport steering wheel and full leather (e/g., lots of aluminum against black) silver deviating stitching with a black interior could work well too.

RE glare issue- If you stare at the glass to reflect the interior you see what is in the interior. If you look through the class to where you are going, you see where you are going. If you drive it like a Porsche, you look yet farther ahead. No glare issue.
