Anybody have this interior and if so do you have any regrets?
Saw it on a Night Blue cab yesterday and thought it looked great, but the car was brand new. I wonder how it would look a couple of years down the road.
Currently have a Night Blue Targa 4S on order and had been considering Espresso, but the Chalk looks so much brighter and sportier.

A previous post about car seats included some responses about chalk seats -- some have see issues wearing jeans, others not.
I have a 718 on order with chalk seats, so I'm hoping it'll be "not" for me.
I have the Graphite Blue Metallic on Gray Chalk interior. The interior is just amazing, hands down the most handsome interior I have ever had. No issues with seat staining etc and I wear blue jeans 90% of the time. As an avid auto detailer, any seat staining i've dealt with in the past(light color seats) was easily cleaned with any reputable leather cleaner. It's really not as big of a deal as some folks make it out to be.
This is in my Cayenne with graphite grey interior. The seat stain was caused by a leather jacket and nothing (including professional detail) can take it off. Also the jeans I wear typically will release a lot of denim and in my grey/blue interior M3, the stain never came fully out. However, most jeans will not cause a significant stain.
Of course having light colored seats isn't a big deal, but for sure it's more work keeping it clean.

I typically use a product called 'Gliptone Leather Cleaner'. Try working it into the stained part of the seat with a small amount of warm water using a detailers brush until it foams, wait a couple of minutes and then wipe it with a clean towel. Repeat this process a second time but instead of using the clean towel alone-wrap it around the head of a steamer(I steal my wife's portable clothing steamer) and that should get the rest of it. You need to open the pores of the leather to deep clean. Sometimes stains that have been there for a while will need a third go-round.

Agree 100%. Looks great and can always be cleaned fairly easily.
I have the graphite blue/chalk interior now for 7400km after 6 months, no issues and the maintenance has been quite minimum too. Last week my car was in the shop for window tints and there were several marks left on the seats/armrest, wiped them off easily with leather master cleaning. It's now as new as before again.
Congratulations on the Targa, that's a beautiful build indeed.
I picked up my Targa 4s two weeks ago in the Bay Area. Prior to seeing my baby, I was having buyer's remorse re the Chalk seats (what if they're even whiter than the configurator...how will I ever keep them clean...won't it look cheesy...).
Needless to say, all those worries vanished in a nanosecond when we saw it in person. The Chalk has a slight grey tint to it and is much less bright than the configurator (see my post above from March 20). Even my 16-year-old car nut son thinks it's absolutely amazing looking.
So, to summarize. Love, love, love the combo of Night Blue with Graphite Blue/Chalk interior.
