Go for it. The blue combo is rare which might help with value down the road. Get some 20" OEM wheels, turn these into winters (if needed), install some spacers, and call it a day.

I'm a bit partial, but I doubt you will have many people compliment your black interior. I picked a very rare interior and get compliments on it every time I drive the car.

Who cares what the interior color is if you like it?
Personally, its very Porsche and I love it.

you've got a flashy little sports car there. why would you want boring, run of the mill colors.
that blue interior makes that normally bland white paint pop.
just like the aqua blue with the tan stands out.
having something different is awesome.
i like it!

Its also quite rare which seems to be desirable in this community

My 993 cab is white with blue interior and top. Looks sharp as does this cayman. As a 2016, I think this is yachting blue which is very blue and pretty striking. The newer graphite blue is a bit darker and has more grey tone to it. Anyway, I like colored interiors as they add some character.

My 0.02:
I fricking HATE monochromatic color Porsche interiors. For one thing the colors are often horrific, but worse still the color is usually applied to damn near the ENTIRE interior of the car. IMO, dash and steering wheel should always be BLACK, and preferably the tops of the doors too.

And blue? For me, no way no how never. Honestly, I think it looks terrible...

Ideally for me I'd have a red/black interior, but not common with the era of Porsches in my price range, so mine is all black.

Highly subjective of course! If you like it, you like it. If you're asking questions about it, maybe you don't like it so much...

yeah, I hate that about the Porsches too... they overdose on the color instead of breaking it up.
I usually like red interiors but holy Christ this is nuts

My eyes are bleeding...


They should take a cue from some other car companies on how to tone it down a notch.
love the red interior on the 4 series BMW




The blue isn't so bad, but I'd still want to break it up a bit with some black floor mats and seat inserts

My eyes!

With the new Porsches, they have options that are *reasonable*. The cheaper "color" interior options are mostly black now, with color inserts in the seats (which looks stupid). Leather interior options still allow *ALL RED EVERYWHERE*, but also this, which is IMO perfect:


The only "blue" option is still *ALL BLUE*, but at least the shade is a bit muted:


This if fricking hilarious though, turd brown with "German idea of 'tan'" orange. Good lord...
