Default 981 S interior option

Has anyone seen or ordered a 981 with the Brushed Aluminum interior option?

Am considering the expresso leather interior & have heard some concerns

about the 'shiny' aluminum trim causing reflection problems in strong

sunlight.

Comments &/or pics would be appreciated.

standard galvano trim (which is more shiny than aluminium) does not cause any reflection problems, not any that I have noticed in 4500 miles.

pics of 991 with brushed aluminium here:

Default I went the other direction...

I don't like either of the metallic looks and I went leather. The only thing I wish I could have finagled differently is that I would have gotten the trim pieces in darker gray instead of the light gray. Either way, I went overboard trying to eliminate that cheap (imo) metallic look. Don't even care for the look of the sport steering wheel.

sorry for the crappy pic...

Porsche Exclusive will do the dash and door trim parts in any colour leather that is offered that you want .. in your case, it would have been cool to have agate grey to match your dash top

what you have is still lovely though
