Congrats on a beautiful car and welcome aboard. I have the Pebble/Agate and it's not that difficult to keep clean. Also, I wear jeans and they leave little, if any, of their dye.

Very nice combo. I was always a black interior guy, then dark brown was growing on me but that Pebble\agate is REALLY nice. Great find.
Was that interior something you stumbled upon or was it part of your search criteria. There can't be many of those.
How many miles and what did you pay etc? If you don't mind sharing. Also what was the MSRP of the sticker in 2014?
Welcome.

thanks for the replies. in response to the questions & comments:
-the full cow definitely makes the interior much warmer & more upscale than the traditional interior. the burmester is phenomenal; music is incredibly rich & clear and the bass is ridiculous. in addition to the music quality, it has a cool live setting, which makes the dj's on satellite radio sound like they are broadcasting from the passenger seat.
-the light interior was a concern but i will be fastidious with the leather master cleaner & conditioner. i'll keep everyone posted on wear over time. in spite of my concerns, the look of the two toned interior is awesome. my other two cars (both bmw) have black and mocha interiors respectively. combined with the full leather, the pebble/agate makes the interior seem bright, fresh, & very upscale.
-i stumbled upon this interior. in fact, i didn't know it was offered as a color combo until i saw this car. i had successfully negotiated a deal on a '13 c2 with the traditional black interior but it was "accidentally" sold to another customer before i arrived to take delivery. the sales manager made it up to me later that evening by offering me first shot at a c2s that had just been turned in from a lease. he allowed me to drive it before it had been cleaned or even run thorough service. i saw the interior and the build and immediately knew i wanted this car. i'm glad it worked out the way it did.
-one of my favorite features is the heated & cooled seats, which i use simultaneously. i have a bad back and drive with the seat heat on the highest setting every time i drive. in the 911, i can use the cooled seats to keep me from sweating in the summer while i use the heated seats to relax my back. it's the simple pleasures... ok, this one was unsolicited.
-the car is a white 2014 c2s cpo with 8k miles. after negotiations, i took it home for $89k. the msrp was just under $130k.
overall, i am thrilled with this car. the sounds from the engine and the exhaust burble are intoxicating. the power delivery and handling are second to none. my bmw's are great cars but this is an entirely different level. when the weather clears, i'll follow up on the requests for more pics as the ones i posted in the op don't do the interior justice.
thanks again, everyone!

as promised, new pics. gave her the first hand detail today prior to the game. the first detail is a chance for me to give my new car the once-over, looking for flaws & areas needing extra attention. thanks for viewing and, if you don't mind, i need some feedback at the end.
first, hit the wheels/tires with sonax full effect. next, adams shampoo & detail spray for a quick but quality wash. smells good, too.
gave the interior a thorough vacuuming, followed by leather master cleaner, then conditioner on the seats, dash, & doors. finished everything else with a light wipe down using adam's total interior detail. love the two tone pebble/agate.
even busted out the gummi pflege for the gaskets & seals.
once done, had time before the game to install the blendmount & lid liner.
now for the requested feedback. while washing, i noticed an odd discoloration under the headlights. it didn't seem to be a water leak but might have been condensation build up. anyone else ever experience this?

Looks great! Nice products and skills.
Condensation is normal. Spray cold water on warm headlights, or vise versa. Different ambient temps too.
Goes away. Believe it's mentioned in the manual as well possibly?

Absolutely love the interior. We had this in our first P-car, a 981 BS. The leathered was never an issue, the challenge was the carpet to the right of the accelerator. But I miss that interior. We loved it. Great find. Enjoy the ride!
