Disagree 911%.

One of the guys over on the 991 turbo forum recently took delivery on a blue car with a very nice two tone interior. I think it looks great.

This looks great, but I BELIEVE this is a porsche exclusive interior.


Red and blue honestly end up being "superman" which isn't really my favorite in a car. Red and black, red and white, red and silver or red and grey are normally where those combos seem to shine. IMHO with blue, I would go for the Agate grey or espresso interior (both are actually surprisingly similar, its just one is a little more grey and one is a little more brown so to speak but share the same overall tone if that makes sense) to give a little bit of extra special factor to it without going super light or standard in color choices. Almost NO combo is classier than espresso with a dark blue and deviated silver stitching...just a thought.

Night Blue is the new dark blue. It's pretty dark, won't look Superman at all.

Sapphire is another story. Definitely the superman look.

Its called Sporttec seats I believe. YouTubber Nick Murray got these seats on his Midnight blue C4S. Write to him, he'll be happy to help / guide you.

Here's a thought for you: Forget about tying your exterior color to your interior color.
Instead, think of the Porsche offered exterior color you like looking at when you look at your car from the exterior. Then think of think of the Porsche colored interiors you like looking at when you're driving the car. It's important you like each color separately. It's not important you like the combination. Mainly because you seldom see the two together. Inside you barely see the exterior and from the outside, you see little if any, of the interior color.
And if your afraid selecting colors independent of each other will lead to a visual disaster, consider this - Porsche is offering you standard interior and exterior colors which, in any combination, you can't screw up.
Paint to sample is an entirely different story.

Hmmm, not so sure I'm down with this advice. This is what happens when you pick your favorite exterior with your favorite interior...

Could you be more obnoxious?

Most of the people here are definitely not herd followers. Herd followers rarely excel enough to even afford a porsche.

Nerds and old farts have either lived long enough or worked hard enough to get whatever they want and deserve to be respected for that.

Just give your opinion and don't be like buttheads. Are you a butthead?

To use his own word (from a different forum), maybe he's "ghey".
