Exterior colour interior accents on 992 GTS.
Hello all
I haven't been able to find very much discussion regarding adding the exterior colour accented interior trim. I have GTS I've spec'd in chalk due to arrive 2 months ago lol..... supposedly it may actually appear in December.
So I did add the chalk colour interior accents and I'm a little worries now. Does anyone have any experience adding the exterior colour on the interior trim? Any pictures and feedback on whether you regret the decision? I can't do anything about it now but I've been anxiously awaiting the car's arrival to validate my choice. Fingers crossed it looks good.
My 991.2 had black interior accents and I found it a tad boring, I was hoping to make this car a little more exciting. I could have done the carbon fiber I guess, I regret it may have been a better choice for resale. Love to see any pics if you have them, and any feedback appreciated.

Every 911 I’ve seen with this done, it’s hideous.

It will be fine. I think Nick Murray opined not to do it and, as such, some see it as overkill with the color matching. But with chalk I think you should be fine... Embrace it!

I think it looks great! Chalk is a pretty neutral color all in all. My own opinion, I think that the brighter colors, GR, RY, LG, LO, would all look a bit too loud, especially as a daily driver.
If you ever wish, you could always re-buy all the trim pieces in whatever other appearance you want from Porsche.

Screen capped it for you.
Don’t sweat it - I think it looks cool. Some people are negative about paint matched interior trim, but I think it’s unique and chalk is a pretty conservative color, so it’s not too wacky looking (ie Python Green interior trim or something).
Only thing I might have done differently is spec chalk deviated stitching, but you did get the white gauges, so there is a tie in. Look forward to seeing some real world pics.
Worst case scenario if you absolutely hate it, you can change out the trim. Not cheap, but it’s always an option.

Thanks for the picture, definitely shows better. Appreciate the feedback, i tried to tie in the dials and added chalk seatbelts. I regret cheaping out on chalk stitching, agreed.

Seeing the screen cap, I think it looks pretty badass. I really like it! Great choice!
To me, chalk stitching may have been a little too much in addition. Belts, trim, dials, AND stitching all together is too much chalk for me.
