Thought I saw a hint of green in some of the pics. At first I thought it was Agate, but definitely some green going on in there! What color is it exactly?

Don't be shy about posting more pics!

I can not remember if there was an option for it but I wish I could have done the silver trim in suede.

Love the color. I recently traded my GT Silver Spyder for a Slate Grey/615 GT3 6speed. Always loved that Steve Mcqueen slate 911 look. Great cars!

Grab carbon dash and door trim kits from Suncoast Parts. That way the dash and door trims will match the carbon seat backs. Perfect !!!

Going to look into that. How easy is it to change them out? For the door trim does it require taking the whole door panel off?
Thank you.

I don't know but suncoast should be able to advise, otherwise someone on this forum will chime in I'm sure.

Here are the parts you need

You need to contact them about the door trims as the parts are not shown on the website.

My wife and I just took the Spyder on a road trip from Phoenix AZ to La Quinta/Palm Desert CA for two days. We had a great trip........top stayed down except for the freeway to and from. Weather was perfect out there. High’s were in the low ‘80s.


On the way out to Cali....

Hwy 74 out of Palm Desert

Beautiful day for a top down drive.

Nice trip! Hwy. 74 is definitely Spyder country and highlights the car's abilities in the twisties.
