Default 981 Agate Grey/Amber Orange interior

Looking for pics (other than configurator) of this interior 2-tone combo.

Config. shows too much Amber Orange for my liking. Is it possible to have just

the seat insert & back done in amber orange instead of the entire seat & Agate


Agate Grey for the door panels with orange deviating stitching would be desirable instead of all Amber Orange.

I was going to choose this interior prior to changing my mind and ordering a 991 instead.
Looks more of the old "natural brown" color than orange to me.

And in my opion, this is a nice touch to tone down the amber by getting deviating black carpet that will also be harder to stain.

Good to see pictures. The configurater's depictions are way too garish.

This one gets my vote. Only a few of the available 981 exterior colors work with Agate/Amber Orange, but this two tone leather interior is truly awesome!

I saw the two tone you are referring in person in two Boxster S at local dealer. Looks great in person.

Carbon trim

MSRP >$100K ouch!

Default this thread shows me what I'm missing

The post about the deviating carpet made me realize exactly what I was missing. Although I'm not sure how I would have gone about it, I would have been 1000x happier with agate carpeting. Is that expensive to replace after-market?
