very important to me to make sure that the interior and exterior are cohesive.
Any thoughts ?

You will certainly get plenty of opinions here. From an aesthetic perspective, be sure you want all the shark blue along the dash and console/shifter area. Shark Blue belts, yes. Shark Blue stitching, yes. Sometimes the dash trim is a bit distracting, other times not. Personal choice. But Black leather works with everything, so no worries on the majority of the interior. You'll love the car no matter what you end up doing on the options.

Shark blue interior trim is distracting. But you should do what pleases YOU. GL.

IMHO, the shark blue dash trim is too bold. Love the seat belts…. Would consider chalk seat stitching for a pop of contrast.
That said, if you like the shark blue dash trim, DO IT.

The blue trim is bold and adds flare to the interior. Why not go all in and do the seat backs with the blue as well? And do you need a $420 leather pouch for one of your keys? You can get a close to color matched key cover on ebay for $20.
Other than that, solid build. Stay bold.

The shark blue dash trim makes the interior look cheap IMO - would much rather leave standard or brushed aluminium to lighten the interior.
Also sun visors in leather is worth considering unless you prefer alcantara to match the steering wheel.

Thanks for the input. Yeah my friend had a shark blue gt3 with blue interior panels and it looked great. But i can see how in a turbo s carbon fiber may look better. I will ponder it. Thanks!
Yah wanted the sunvisors to match the steering wheel!

I considered shark blue for my TTS, but went with gentian blue. Every time I see a shark blue, I wonder why I didn't select the color.
As for input on your build:
Drop the shark blue interior accents. Too busy.
The standard wheels are the better-looking wheels. Good choice.
Green contrasting stitching? Naw. Consider yellow, as it complements the blue. Consider yellow seat belts and calipers if you go with yellow.
The high gloss exterior package looks great. Why not go with black exhaust tailpipes?
I would skip the carbon roof and go with the standard roof. Go with the exterior mirrors in body color.
Model designation on the side may be over the top.
Good luck.

I really like it. The only thing I don't like is the carbon roof. On a GT3 car its cool, but I find the turbo to be more of a GT car and I find the glass roof to be a better option for that car, but that's just my personal taste.
also no to the green stitching. I would stick to silver, chalk or just black.

The carbon roof and mirrors is a great touch and breaks up large globs of body color. The CF all comes with the sport package BTW... Throw in gloss black on all the bare plastic parts and you have a winner.
The blue interior is a bit much for me, but its your car!
The ED wheels in black would like nice on this too and they are a bit wider to fit the 325s on the rear
Not sure if you have this stuff or not, but the Porsche crest on arm rest is nice, leather wrap steering wheel case, model des on the door is really nice touch, hmmm, Id do gloss black for the rear hood, not blue. CF steering wheel and door sills to match the roof and mirrors.
Enjoy
