ok, ok... looks like i should be more specific. normally getting a red interior costs more than the regular leather option. now, it actually costs LESS than the black leather with contrast stitching, and the same as leather with black stitching. 
I find this to be an unusual "gift" from porsche... or maybe i've drank so much of their koolaid that i'm looking at it wrong.

I'm in your same "predicament" (god these are such fictitious problems to have)... and you just solved my question which i also asked me SA "how much to change the trim with the red interior".
As I would never pay $2000 to have the aluminum or carbon trim, I am still very happy with the red. how often do you get to have beautiful red interior in a porsche, without paying a premium for it? While the black is nice, it's relatively dull even with the contrast stitching, and the red/black combo with the red trim where the hoops/firewall are really offer something unique and premium. Don't worry about the silver trim...although, if it bothers you you can always spec rhodium or gt silver on the outside to get it to match better.
i'm stuck on rhodium/agate or jet black.. leaning towards jet black.. but red interior is for sure... those LWB seats in red look just amazing.

The 1953 speedster I grew up with in the driveway had a ruby red interior. The car was all original/old, the white paint almost gone to chalk but the red interior really kept its color made that car that much more special. This new red/grey interior we're getting is really nice, looks bespoke. This is my first new Porsche. I'm wondering if we are going to get natural leather? Probably not since they would probably specify it was such in the literature.

Only add on that makes me say hmm is the racing yellow PCM and air vent slats.
Seems too much to my eyes, fwiw.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't so BOLD and I hope I don't regret it. My order is entered as Rhodium/Red, but this was my runner up. I love the blue yellow combination - reminds me of the beach.

Thoughts on a jet black car, red interiorSilver seatbelts to match the aluminum trim, and… wait for it… Red painted wheels to match the rotors underneath. Easy to gloss red plasti dip or paint once I take delivery.
Painted wheels cant just be the purvey of Rs cars

Random question my cars scheduled to go into production later this month..... but shows an expected build completion date of 9/4..... Don't cars normally take around a week to build? Is the august vacation slowing down the build process? Anyone have any ideas

Can I just say those that can get an all black car are so lucky.
