I agree that slate grey or truffle brown would not go all that well with Guards Red exterior and a black top. Personally I would go with the black/beige two tone with that exterior color combination. To go one step further, I would consider black deviated seat centers with that, as more black would tie in better than more of the beige. And for what it's worth, I personally like the leather interior option, especially with he two tone interior. The deviated beige stitching on the black leather along the top of the dash and door trim is a nice look. I had this on a 991.2 TTS (Carrara White) and really liked the look. That was a Luxor Beige, which is a bit more yellowish than the current Mojave Beige, and the current beige tone is much nicer.
Do you think the slate grey interior looks good with Guards Red? I also like this interior color option but you don't see it very often with Guards Red. Also do you think the red gauges and red belts look ok with the gray? I've got to decide very soon, my order freezes on Jan 18th. Thanks! Decisions, decisions....
That will not look good (grey). I think if you want all these red accoutrements inside the car, you have to stick with black. If you don't want to add all the red stuff, the beige will look good.

Agree with you, and she should skip the red seatbelts etc.
Agree on the seat belts..... Also, would not wait too long to make this decision. Freeze dates are a little fluid and occasionally get moved up. On my last order (992 Targa 4S) the actual freeze date occurred about a week before what was shown on TYD, and was about two weeks before the "vehicle fixed" date in PSVM system.

I think Slate Grey will look BEST with guards red and be the best of everything interior option. The color is dark enough that it will hide dirt (I have almost the exact same interior color in my three year old Ford Fusion Sport with 80k miles and still looks fantastic) but light enough that it wont get scorching hot in the summer months, especially with a convertible and the top down, doesn't reflect like black, and as much as I like tan, I dont like red and tan. I would do light tan over silver, white, grey, black, blue, etc, but not red. Slate grey would be my first choice. Chalk and slate grey would be second, but that's an expensive interior option. Black would be my third. Guards Red with black interior looks awesome, but black is tough in the summer.
I gotta agree on Guard’s red exterior/grey interior would be a killer combination, subject to confirming with color samples there’s not some weird tone thing which I doubt. Maybe throw in white dials.

So funny, I think grey is so ugly. My old Ferrari F430 was Rosso Corsa with tan and looked amazing.
It looked good in 2009-- had to own a classic colored Ferrari once in my life. I haven't had a red car since (don't like red, with the exception of Ferrari and even then it would not be my first choice now).
This thread highlights how personal color combinations really are amongst the forum. I personally think black is the safest choice, followed by black/tan - classic sports car look, then slate grey with guards red. I love my slate grey interior, but think the other choices match guards red better, esp when the top is down.
And agreed with dgtarga about your lock date, my build ended up being competed a month early so just be aware. Good luck!
