Very nice. I am surprised how well it looks with black. I wanted this interior but would've been too nervous to order it with black exterior. Almost looks like your carpet and center console is black, are either? Great wheels. Enjoy!

The carpet is espresso, which is an interesting tidbit. In the thread that I referenced, Eduardo mentioned that the espresso-cognac interior was originally released with the lighter cognac carpet. He and others opined as to how much better the interior would look with a darker carpet such as espresso or black. When planning my car, I noticed on the configurator that the carpet appeared to be espresso. My SA told me that within the last couple of years Porsche chose to use the darker of the two colors for the carpet in all of the dual tone interiors.

Dirt.
I weep for my Pebble Gray carpet's future...
