Default Ordering a 997 turbo

I am ordering a 997 turbo tomorrow. Exterior will be black, but I cant make up mind on the interior color. Im leaning towards black, but thinking about sand beige as well. Any thoughts??? Thanks

Be sure to check out the two-tone interiors that will be available. Not sure if any of the selections will be to your taste, but at least be aware. Something new. I'm going with black myself, slate gray ext.

I am going with the Basalt Metallic Black and the two-tone interior of Black and Terracotta.

Because I want the panels to be slightly different colors than that option gives you I am going with their "Custom Tailoring" program which will allow me to do many other things.

I am getting the Cabriolet so I have some time but picking out everything for a first time Porsche owner is not an easy task. The options and combinations seem endless.

I may be asking some questions.

Owned a 996tt with savanah beige interior. Problem was that there was too much reflected light from the dashboard and in bright sunlight it actually made the road harder to see.

My 997tt is ordered in black/black

I had no idea about the cocoa until I saw it in real life and it completly blew me away. Normaly, I'm very conservative when it comes to interiors. But it looks very very very nice and wonderful with carbon details.

Deviating carpet and stitching is worth considering as well.
Could also conisider seat belts to match deviating colors as well.

You might consider Terracotta/Black or Gray/Black...I ordered GT Silver Metallic exterior and Terracotta/Black. Black exterior with Black interior might be a little too dark at times...but, it is yours and you will like whatever you select. Good luck!
