Cool! I'm not sure if I'd do that myself, but it's a matter of personal preference of course.

Are you going to match other parts of the interior as well? Like door trim, center console, carpets...?

I have white gauge faces and will get black mats with white trim and turbo logo. Everything else is/will be black! Anyone else got red leather seats? I will post pics when it is done!

the seats in mine are red. everything else is black, both front and rear seats are red. Momo black/red steering wheel also. I bought the car this way, it looks pretty good, so I don't think I'll be changing it.

I have a full leather option on my car which includes red sports seats front and back, red center console, red lower dash section, red door inserts, red emergency brake section and red shift boot and looks great.
I get a lot of compliments on it and its goes well with the white exterior. I think it was upwards of a $3000 option to get full leather.

i have red alcantera seats... love 'em

doing a fairly custom interior, the dash is getting recovered in either red or black alcantera, as well as the center console, headliner, etc... it's kinda nice having a fresh slate to work from...

Nice seats on the auction! I am paying $115 for the lip red leather and $200 for labour... makes for a cheap freshen up!

I had a non-Porsche in light dove grey exterior and red interior, at first I thought it would be too much... until I saw it.

It does look awesome though...everyone else would comment on it and thought it was really nice and all that.

Everyone expects black or tan in a sports car...I like to be different.

Awesome thanks! I want to make sure they get it right... Does anyone know how many square feet I will need to cover the front seats and back seat?
