I agree with evilfij that pepita/leather/Alcantara/CF is a lot going on. Personally I would bring the exterior color inside in place of CF and do Alcantara inserts to match the rest of the interior. Or leave the seats alone; they are unique.
Kicking the tires on painted interior with GT Silver. Although the 911R's seem to do well with CF and HT combo.

Agree and that's been the struggle. Don't want to PTS just because I can. The pendulum has swung to no PTS as there isn't a color I clicked with as much as GT Silver.

Of course the choice is always yours.
No doubt the price is offensive. I'm going with sofa's (fit me better) so have no choice but to pony up the $ if I want the HT. In that price I can add different color leather pieces to the bolsters but still think the black will be best with the silver/black HT. I can change out the crest on the headrest and add "GT3" stitched in but still feel the crest will fit better.

Appreciate the thoughts!

I have to say, I always thought GT Silver was a bit boring on a GT3 but it really works on the Touring. Catches the light well and I never get bored of looking at it.

It looks good but personally I would spec the trim in anthracite metal since it's close to GT Silver but has a more matte finish and feels more substantial.
