Anyone have pics of carbon trim on black leather interior?

Many thx!

Will Agate/Pebble do? The 'Carbon Fiber' interior trim bits goes perfectly with any interior leather color on a modern Porsche, including 'Black' of course!

Are the pieces real CF or stick on look alike?

My understanding is that they are real 'carbon fiber' pieces.

That's what I suspected. Thanks.

I have Agate/Pebble on mine, but with the standard aluminum. The carbon fiber is stunning on yours.

Many thx for sharing Eduardo, your interior is absolutely perfect, best combo I've seen so far...

Gents, thanks for the compliments...but I don't own that 991. It belongs to Porsche. I took photos of it at the 'Porsche Exclusive' showroom at Werk II in Zuffenhausen on April 18th. I take photos of any interesting options or colors on Porsches because I post so much about 'Custom Ordering and 'Porsche Exclusive' in forums such as Rennlist! I have loved rare colors & unusual options in Porsches since I was 21 years old - I will be 63 this August - and it continues to fascinate me to this day! I have been collecting Porsche auto related memorabilia, Porsche early 356 & 911 rare options, steering wheels, badges, literature, etc, for a very long time too! And the photo shows the only Porsche I currently own - an oldtimer 'Crystal Blue' 1970 911E Targa!

I will be writing more about that tour of 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen on April 18th on my next post on this thread. There will be lots more photos and some interesting bits of information on 'Porsche Exclusive' options for the current 991 & 981 models:

I believe these are simply 'wrapped in carbon' plastics, like most of the interior bits. They are not truly 'molded carbon'....but do look nice.

We've handled carbon bits for many years, and Porsche has never (that I know of) made a true carbon piece for the interior. Wrapped in the same carbon used by the factory in its trim offerings, these pieces are then vacuum sealed, gel coated and buffed out. So yes, it is real carbon 'wrapped' around the existing plastic trim parts, and looks good. There are some cheesy stick on crappy kits out there - don't go there obviously - then there is good stuff like this.

Here are a few more of carbon with agate grey/pebble grey:

And if you can ignore the ugly guy, here are two photos of carbon door trim:

I just saw another car with similar interior minus the carbon fiber. Granted I'm biased but the carbon fiber is a nice addition, and I suspect would work well with an all-black interior, too.

You guys are making me wish I would have gotten the carbon trim.

I know the feeling, but I have had mixed results with the carbon fiber trim in the past. My 993 turbo came out of Porsche exclusiv with carbon fiber trim. Looked great, held up well, but the fit wasn't the greatest. That said, carbon fiber technology and processes have improved significantly since 1997.
Also had carbon trim in my 2011 C4S. Console trim cracked, and had some clouding.

Went without it on the new car.
