Expresso and carbon fiber I would have to see. I don't think I have seen one.

Disagree. Agate I think looks best w black interior or a lighter interior. I have platinum grey and love it but you could also do a two tone but again black or lighter. I don't think the semi-dark interior colors look as good w agate but that's my personal taste.

Actually I agree with this observation. However with white its amazing and if the instruments where white and the stitching pebble grey - even more so.

Do you think agate goes better with espresso/cognac, or even black/luxor beige?
thank you!

Hmmmm....I think espresso or espresso/cognac would look good. Not sure about CF in those combos, though. I think leather trim instead perhaps would look better.

I actually love that look. Really cool balance of sport and luxury. The color tones are fine with each other as well as in the end they are all neutral (though obviously on the darker side). I would have loved to build another GTS in with that combo! Plus agate has a good amount of brown in it, so it would tie things in great.

I agree that CF looks best with really light or really dark colors(black, ivory). I'm not an espresso fan but its not my car. If you like it do it.

I agree: I think espresso looks tasteful w/ agate. I'd do something other than CF. Brushed alum maybe? Or leave it stock.

Maybe a wood package? My wife has one in her Panamera (black interior), looks nice.
