OP, Frank created a bunch of leather items for me, including visors and covering the piano trim on the console. It all came out killer, his people are artists, you will not be disappointed. Plus he’s just a great guy too.

With a plum colored exterior, it wouldn't occur to me to make the interior fancy. I would have gone for straight black.

I just about went with black interior but I was at our local dealership and saw the graphite blue in person. It is like navy. But in these photos it looks like blueberry. In person it contrasts with the Viola paint well. Viola has more bluish tones versus Amethyst which is reddish. I bet that would look cool with Bordeaux leather.

An old sales brochure for the 993 shows Vesuvio Metallic with red leather and it looks amazing.

I ended up coming across an interesting 964 from Japan in Veilchenblau and Cobalt interior. That got me to thinking about how to build this 992.

Doing the math on your delivery it appears your car would have been produced late September/early October whicch answers the steering wheel question? This obviously coincides with Oktoberfest, and the QC team was definitely out at the beer tents for lunch prior to your cars final inspection.

the steering wheel column is 100% on Porsche, the other issues seem to point a finger at your SA not being very good at his/her job…. Unfortunately

I second the recommendation of Frank at Exclusive Option (EO). His Company does an outstanding work. Given their assistance and attention to detail I am sure will get your interior all coordinated, and you will truly finally get your interior of your dreams. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.

Frank provided me the opportunity to have a two color Leather to Sample interior with all of the extra basic trim pieces and carpeting in a color other than “black”. We started with an Agate Grey interior and added second color - Porsche AG Cedar Green Buffalo Leather from Boxmark in Austria.

My completed interior thanks to Frank and the EO Team turned out in my opinion to be outstanding. I will add at the Porsche Parade the past summer the received very positive comments from all those that viewed the Cayman interior.. All I can say is really enjoy my new Agate Grey and Cedar Green Buffalo interior.

1) The steering column should be in Graphite Blue leather but it came in Black. It does match the shifter though. I know the shifter boots are all black but I wonder if Porsche did this on purpose to make them match since they are near eachother? It would be nice if they were both in Graphite Blue (any leads on custom boots??)

2) The sunvisors were ordered in Racetex and I was told they would be Graphite Blue to match the headliner and the seat belt outlets that are also Graphite Blue Racetex. They arrived in Black.

3) I ordered the leather upgrade for the fuse box covers (I know, crazy, I know) but the stitching came in blue instead of Chalk like the rest of the car. ALL the interior stitching is deviated in Chalk except these covers and we ordered them with Chalk.

So, what should I ask the dealer to fix? What should I live with? What should I have fixed on my own and who can do this for me? Ideally the entire car will have Graphite Blue leather with Chalk stitching and Graphite Blue Racetex where appropriate. I paid $174,950 for this car and so a bit of fixing doesn't bother me. I just want the car corrected.

That's actually Viola PURPLE Metallic vs Viola Metallic, correct? The latter is a darker color.
