GTS Cab Build
I have to make up my mind as I have an October allocation for a MY2016 GTS. I can't decide which of the following builds I should go with in terms of the interior. Both cost around the same.

Red-stitch GTS Communication Package
http://www.porsche-code.com/PGKKGYW8
Leather & alcantara with carmine red accents on the dash. Also added leather dash.
On one hand the communication package is exclusive and very cool except it seems a bit much and I think it may get boring or tired somehow. Many GTS pcars will have this down the road. My other build is sharp and I think a bit more laid back; I think I'd like this a lot and the ventilated seats are something I wish my 997 had.
Let me know what you think.

I have the sapphire blue version of your red interior spec - it looks great in person, I would *highly* recommend it...

For jets I have the same painted interior trim you're looking at but in Sapphire Blue of course. I'm extremely happy with it, turned out fantastic and I've gotten a ton of compliments. I really wanted the ventilated seats in place of alcantara too so no downside for me.
Here are a couple of pics and the link to my thread... made me realize that I need a few natural light photos of the interior too.

Yes I saw that. L O V E the carmine red. Before it came out I almost initiated a C2S purchase that would have been PTS. I always missed my 97 San Marino Red prelude and would have chosen that color or something similar.

Either interior will be great. I prefer the GTS Interior Communication package since it differentiates the interior, and the GTS, a little more from a regular Carrera. Not to mention, it looks fantastic.

I'd love the GTS interior package - if it ditched the alcantara. I'm one of the old guys who thinks 1970's Buick velour every time I see alcantara.

I liked the GTS interior but after spending some time in various cars I just couldn't fall in love with Alcantara. Both the look and the feel. I have a Carmine Red Targa and I had the interior trim painted to match. It is freaking amazing, so much better in person than in any photos that I've seen. I didn't paint the trim around the center console, just the dash and door trim and I'm very happy with the decision. I have a post with a crappy interior photo taken by the SA but I'll take better photos and post soon.
For what it's worth, I am already in love with the ventilated seats. I drive mostly with the top down and the vented seats are really nice when the heat is beating down. After experiencing the leather vented seats there is no way I would go with Alcantara. But I will always be a little jealous of the red tach and the red stitching. But not enough to have done anything differently.

Here is the crappy photo that I have right now but really...it doesn't come close to showing how nice this option looks from inside the car.

I've never owned a convertible car, but the texture of Alcantara would give me pause if I did. Seems like convertible interiors get pretty dirty/dusty, so I would prefer leather which is easier to keep clean. Then again I'm borderline clinical OCD, so YMMV. I also ordered the carmine GTS package for my coupe and it was a "must have" after seeing it in person -the stitching and seat belts with that carbon is next level. Has a very "rich" and luxurious overall feel IMO.
