Default Trying to match 996 and 993 interior colors

I really want a 3-spoke CF and leather/vinyl steering wheel. However, I cannot find out from any local sources the correct 996 color that will best match a Classic Grey interior. Can anyone help? Do any of the stock 996 interiors match or would I be better off going the black route with black steering wheel/ shift boot/ e-brake handle/ seats?
I'm not a huge fan of the 2-tone look though, but the mismatched grey also doesn't work too well.

Any input is appreciated.

Try ColorPlus if you are going to dye. They make Surflex, which is a great product. I used to to re-dye a steering wheel and also my shift boot. Perfect results, and I had never dyed anything prior to that. IIRC, the have all the factory color codes and provide dye to match.

OK - I have learned that the two standard grey interior colors available on the 2000 996 were space grey(dark) and graphite grey(light).
Does anyone know which one matches a Classic Grey interior best?

Default 3 soke steering wheel

Hi Russ:
I purchased my CF three spoke wheel from Gert Carnewal. I ordered the classic grey to match my interior and he sent the approriate one. You may want to call or e-mail him for the color.

Tony - Great idea - I just emailed him. Could you either post a picture or email me a picture of your interior with the steering wheel?
