Thanks! Yes, black hides the sins acquired over time. I would rather do something else to perk up an interior than just the belts.

The contrasting stitching is much riskier as you can miss a piece and then the resultant omission looks like you screwed up. With the 991s, I'm not sure what the other key ingredients are going to become inside--like the silver trim on the doors, etc. Maybe that's where you're going with the silver belts...

I am also considering a black all leather interior, and red is my choice of belt color.

I looked at the dealer at different colors on 997's and liked the red or silver look for the belts on a black car. It helps brighten up a very dark interior. Obviously, as stated before, it's a very personal decision/opinion.

I went with the silver belts in a Carrara White exterior with Black interior and am thinking/hoping that they will look good with all of the aluminum bits. I also added platinum colored wheels to tie the White/Black/Platinum look. I guess, I'll find out in a few months...
