Jet Black Metallic with SportDesign Kit
Slate Grey interior with alcantara roof and wheel
White Tachometer and Sport Chrono Dials

Nice....those wheels look great against black. How about some chalk or red stitching? And, to repeat a theme here, it wouldn’t hurt to lose those side skirts to avoid the blocky look.

Thanks! Can only get chalk stitching (no red stitching with grey) but worried it’ll look cheap. Also considered red belts but thought red would only look good with black interior....

Agree with you on the red belts. Personal choice on starching, but I don’t think the chalk stitching would look cheap at all. Good luck!
What a great build! I actually really like the black painted interior parts... it’ll look like a full piano black trim. And the alcantara details look very cool. The sport design will look very nice in black as well. Very cool!
Some find that Alcantara doesn't wear well when being handled frequently, as in a steering wheel . . .
Leather starts to lose its Matte finish after a few months and goes all shiny (I have a pet peeve with shiny leather). I’ve had light grey alcantara on a Cayenne GTS and never had an wear issue even after 2 years of use. So I figured darker alcantara would be fine.

Yeah I was trying to kill the contrast between the black piano finish and the standard grey fixtures across the dash but particularly around the cup holder area in the middle. I hope the painted finishing isn’t too different IRL vs the paint black.
It also adds the door handles in a brighter less “plasticy” silver as well as that strip across the doors. Overall I think it’s an option that works best in black because when you do it with other colors it looks too garish.
I think silver seat belts would compliment the colored gauges better than red belts. I also think you need more contrast in the interior. Try aluminum trim bits.
Also agree with previous poster that alcantra on the steering wheel is not appealing and that silver stitching should be optioned (you really need more contrast with your build). I prefer leather. Shiny leather is better than the feel of alcantara.
Of course, we all recognize these comments are subjective. You asked.

Really successful and unusual build. Do get a look at the spider wheels in real life. They are dark grey. You may ultimately opt for a painted black wheel to maintain your black on black on black theme. Love it.
