Default Full Bordeaux Red interior anyone?

Two-tone black and bordeaux red is the more common and sensible choice.

anyone with full red interior, including the top part of the dashboard?

please enlighten us with pics!!

Plenty of 997 pics online with full red interior and it's hideous. The two tone black and Bordeaux available for the 991/992 looks much, much better!

I'll go on record as a big fan of all red. I had a 997 GTS Cab with full red interior and it was killer. Haven't seen it yet up close and personal in 992, but I say go for the gusto.

I had the two tone black/Bordeaux in my 991.2S and it was the best looking interior I’ve had in any Porsche (and I’ve owned a ton of them).

Came back to reply my own post

Love the all red interior. Very stunning!
Windshield reflection of the dash is very minor and does not distract driving at all.
Bonus red leather covering on the A-pillar and the headliner is really nice, especially from the back, making a contrast to the body color.
One problem is that the carpet is also red and can get dirty quite easily

Cayenne and Panamera can't select this full bordeaux interior and I think it's a nice option only real sports cars can get!!

Ya, the old Carrera Red was more of a lipstick red. Pretty intense but more retro. Bordeaux Red is much easier on the eye and easier to get away with without the black accents of the two-tone interiors. Where did you find the above car? I'm sometimes tempted to do something like that. And yes, you can only get away with it on a real sports car. The Blue/Red combo is a very American look I think, but I know the pic you posted is not of a US car. Is it in the middle east?

Actually that's my car I recieved just last week

Blue/red combo can be a very patriotic color but it also happens to be the color of the flag of South Korea, where I live
But regardless of that, the strong accent resulted by two opposing colors, without the black leather 'buffer' in between, make the car stand out, and I love it!

Maybe I will post some more contrasting color pics if I get a chance to take some photos outside in daylight.

I'd really love to see more pics. I bet a lot of us would. btw, I said that I thought of the blue/red combo as an American thing not because of national colors. It's more of a retro look. Blue with a deep red leather interior was a big 1960s' Cadillac style. It was certainly a uniquely (garishly?) American thing at the time and far too bold for most of the rest of the world.
Be safe over there.

Very nice...love a blue/red combo, and the full Bordeaux somehow not too loud at all with the soothing blue.
