Lukewarm for me. The interior is nice, it would look perfect in a little darker shade of gray IMO.

Exterior color definitely hot. Interior scheme is also hot, but barely.

I'd get rid of the shiny Jager metal bits on the dash in favor of black, but otherwise it looks balanced and well done (though the pix are small!)

But yeah, that stone gray exterior is hype!

I like it, how do you color the piping? I would love to accent the interior on my car that way.

Hot ... a nice 'off the body' restoration: I do like the colours, but find the interior trinkets on the edge of being too much for an eighties car; however, if the objective were to advance the interior to a contemporary styling theme , these baubles are not too far off what is available in a number of cars, say the 997 for one.

I like it....the black-"terracotta" interior looks sharp & that is a popular color combo on Carrera GT's right now! Unique & one of a kind...but not offensive

Interior is smokin', especially the sport seats.

The battleship grey exterior is, well, lame. Needs a metallic hue.

The non-metallic color is interesting. That terra-cotta and black interior is smoking hot! Very well thought out in my opinion.

N!

I love the grey. Perhaps a darker shade?
Mazda has a cool gry color i wouldnt mind.

as far as the interior i like it also, its a modern color scheme but it doesnt match the grey exterior at all. ditch the aluminum accents and round vents...too busy looking.

Any details on how he did the dash...arm rests etc ect...spray on dye??

Id buy it though and add my own changes.
a 5spd boot and ditch the shift plate would be one.

I also like the textured door insert We look at changing colors on this and that but sometimes if you just change the texture of a surface it can make a huge difference. I saw some materail at SEMA 2yrs ago that i still cant find and would like to try.
