Default Two tone leather interior?

Working to complete my build and had a question ---- has anyone seen the two-tone leather option with a Luxor Beige interior?

My color choices are Dark Blue Metallic w/ Blue Cab roof over a Luxor Beige interior. My only hesitation is some concern re sun glare over the beige dash. While using the configurator, I saw the two tone option, which displays a black/grey combination. I'm not even sure they offer over beige, but figured I'd ask. Any pix of this combination would be very helpful.

Thanks!

If there was a black/beige interior option, I would pick it. So far, it doesn't seem to be available. However, I am sure if you pay enough money you can get it done by Porsche...

Watch out if you try to create a two-tone custom interior like black/beige thru the order list. I've noticed that those who attempted a non-standard two-tone interior ended up with the upper portion of the dash in the lighter color (the part closest to the windshield). Same goes for the center console - it's in the lighter color when it should be the darker color. Doesn't look very good at all.

Do the all black full leather interior, with deviated tan seats.

here is one that I saw on another forum...not loving it. Weird how this was done. Don't love how the top of the doors are black, and then beige in the back, and the front of the dash, towards the windshield, and of course the sports chrono. If it went all the way around, it would be better. Just my opinion.

Too fussy for such a small car interior. It would be better to have the whole of the dash top in black, black over-mats, and leave the rest in tan.

I don't get why Porsche isn't offering the black on tan two-tone interior. They had it with the 997 and it seemed to be very popular (not to mention great looking). Hopefully soon it'll make it's way to the option list.

I have seen a samp[le of it in the latest set of samples delivered to the dealers. It states on the back "011". They have had it for about 2 months, but it is not avalable to order....very strange.

Wow...thanks JCBH --- that's pretty tough on the eyes. I agree with LeChef, would be far better to just fully wrap the dash in black and follow that line around the cabin. All black full Leather with deviated tan may be the way to go (thanks frayed)

Appreciate the feedback as always!

I don't think the glare over the beige dash is that bad actually, especially if you wear polarized sun glasses. I like the way it pops out on a dark color exterior.

No problem.

My Modena was nearly full black with tan seats. It's a great look. The leather 'pops' and the dashboard and carpet disappear. In a good way.

The problem with all tan (or grey, or whatever) is that the vinyl of the door panel, leather of the seats, leather of the wheel, etc never completely match an look wonky. Like wearing khakis and a beige shirt. Just doesn't work.

In my 964 Turbo I pulled the tan carpet and put in black. Ahhhh so much better. Will take a pic and share.

there are 2 or 3 other leather options that should have been optioned on that car. i will bet anything the owner & the dealor were more than a littel shocked when the wrapper came off! the dam sales people just don't take the time to know what they are selling - at least much of the time they don't imo.
