I ordered (but have not finalize) a 997s in gt silver with cocoa interior. the standard headline is black Alcantara, I am considering ordering the headliner in cocoa leather to match the rest of the interior.

opinions please

Mine is like that and looks good in my opinion. All cocoa.

Mine's GT Silver/Cocoa too - definitely go for the cocoa H/L - akso make sure you go for the full leather option (and don't forget to include the extra pieces that porsche for some reason leave out of the "full leather" option) - as a matter of interest, which wheel option are you having?

I have the leather headliner in my car and like it a lot. I also ordered full leather interior, the leather sun visors, and dome light cover. Interior is sand beige.

good choice

I wouldn't order the leather headliner if I were getting a black interior as I like the alcantara a lot. However, if the cocoa headliner is std. I think you have no choice but to go with the leather. I think the std. alcantara and cocoa would really clash?

I'm not sure where your information is from but the headliner that comes with cocoa leather is cocoa, not black(at least in the US). Incidentally, if I had to do it over and had more money to burn, I would get the rear center console, door finishers etc in leather (not part of the standard cocoa package), as the standard plastic is mediocre. The standard headliner is far less objectionable in my opinion and replacing it with leather wouldn't be high on my list. While you're at it, you may want to consider the aluminum shift **** (do a search for pictures) and steering wheel in leather. The standard shifter(which I have) feels cheap. The sport steering wheel in leather, which I ordered by accident, is great. Good luck.

thanks, mb1, I called my dealer today and he is going to check on the standard headliner color, he thought it was black and it shows black on the configuator (altho I know this is not accurate). If it is cocoa, I agree that the money could be better spent.I did order the sport steering wheel in leather.

mal: My headliner - full leather Cocoa/2005 - is Cocoa alcantara. I didn't order it, nor see the build sheet, but can't imagine there being a black headliner in there. It would be the only off-hue bit in the interior. ...love GT silver.

wetstuff, thank you. are the sunvisors and area around the dome light also cocoa? (If so, I just saved a lot of money!)

Du'no for sure!? Car is in the garage 12mi from my shop - I'll look when I get home. Here's a link I saved - because I couldn't tell what was what - that may shed some light... http://www.geocities.com/porsche_interior/

I have full leather cocoa and had to order the sunvisors and dome light in leather to avoid the black clashing. I also ordered the leather headliner and love it (it also adds additional leather smell which everyone comments on the first time they get in the car). However, I will say that the Porsche option sheet and my dealership said that the cocoa interior comes with a black alcantera headliner and that drove my option purchase originally - but wetstuff says the alcantara matches so not sure. Here are some pics:

beautiful, it looks like you also got the leather rear center console and porsche crest in the console
