Can't argue that a blue dash limits resale.

One of those things that you have to love, resale be damned. If you are ambivalent, pass.

You and I are in complete agreement. I always loved the idea of silver-over-red 911s, but for decades the only way to get that was with EVERYTHING being red, like they had opened the door once the interior was installed and shot every last surface with red paint. My wife's "dowery car", the one she brought into our marriage at age 21, was an '82 Chevy Celebrity, beige over burgundy. It had that all-or-nothing red interior. Seatbelts, dash, wheel, headliner, carpets, rubber mats, every last surface inside that car. I can never get over it!

Fortunately, black can now be added to the appropriate places with relative ease in a Porsche, and I was all in this time around.

It's not more adventurous than silver with red interior and top.

Whether you will get tired of it, is really a personal issue/decision only you can answer.

I have a rhodium silver 991 with yachting blue interior. I think it a great combination. Rhodium deviated stitching would be a nice addition. Maybe the new graphite blue would work ..?
