Well fancy that, Porsche Classic have dumped CF....................................wow! wonder why!

Fine wood interior looks classy, CF interior not so much.
To me its like vandalising a work of art.
And the wood interior must be pretty rare - now, one less!
Disappointed

I think it looks good. I would spend the extra money and get the OEM style center console switch covers and the door pulls with the Porsche lettering. I think it would pull together everything nicely with the OEM look.

The carbon fiber is a step up. Clearly superior to the wood.
Wood in my S600 looked great.
In my Dad's Jaguar: great.
In a Porsche: screams 'tacky nouveau poseur', at maximum volume.
Carbon can be overdone, like anything. Had you the opportunity to use somewhat less, perhaps it would be better; I wrestle with the same question in my 996. But you had a lot to replace.
Anyone who disagrees is welcome to coat the entire interior of their own Porsche with notcarbon fiber.

PS: I think you've done a spectacular job with your interior. Very tasteful.
Mine came with OEM carbon; I replaced several of the ticky-tacky soft paint parts with DB Carbon replacements.
