Default Feedback Request on Color Inlays

I have in my current build Guards Red Color Inlays for dashboard/console. Also Tach in Red even though pic does not show it below. I have not seen any color inlays in person. Does anyone have feedback on how they look in person vs the standard chrome? Any feedback on this spec?
Thank you.

I have GT silver inlay, I would not have ordered it that way, but I really like it now that I have it ...I think it really depends on color (or non color - silver)

It depends on color combo, I think it looks absolutely fantastic with not very shiny exterior colours, for example:
Aventurine green with truffle brown interior
Silvers with whatever interior
Midnight blue with Slate grey / Chalk interior

But bright and shiny exterior colour trim with dark interior doesnt work very well in my eyes, for example:
Guards red trim with black interior…

Everything is about your taste and thanks to porsche they allow you to create really extraordinary combinations.

I honestly don’t like it. I saw one in gentian blue and hated it.

But our opinion doesn’t matter. If you like it, go for it!

I personally prefer silver, which is what I got in my car; however it will be your car and in the end, all that counts is what you like (until you plan to sell the car).

I think it looks terrible (too loud) with the bright colors. Occasionally ok with dark colors.

but just my opinion.

Must be that it’s a somewhat neutral color that looks great with the black leather. This is the first painted inlay that I have seen that looks good.

I got lucky in a found a car that a dealer ordered for stock...I would not have specified the painted inlay option, but you don't notice it in a silver color, I like it.

If I had an allocation and was ordering a car I'm not sure I would check that box and would $$$ the money on other options

I think the stock works really well with the black interior and the carbon fiber doesn’t strike me with a major visual upgrade.

I specked Iceland Green for the interior with Paldao wood. Loved it when I saw it in person.

It's a no cost option. I'm ordering GT Silver exterior, interior trim painted to match with Lizard Green T interior package. Looks great in pics. The Sport Chrono dial will be in Lizard Green as well.

For the guys with GT silver inlays-have you considered the aluminum trim inlays which are very close in color?

Paldao and Iceland green is a fantastic combination.
