Red cab... top color?
My cab is in need of a new top sooner rather than later and the black makes sense overall since it doesn't show marks, scuffs and such very much. However, I was thinking about something a little different. I don't think the matching red top is for me, but was considering putting a tan/cashmere top on it to match the interior and boot cover.
I don't think I've seen a red 993 with a tan top now that I think about it. Does anyone here have pics of one?
On the downside, I know the tan would show more black marks and such from folding down, rubbing, etc., but I'm thinking it would look nice if I can keep it clean.

I can't remember the member's name, but he has a red cab with a red top. Not a look for everyone, but on his car I really think it looks great. He lives in Canada. I am sure as the day progresses someone wil chime in on who it is. It does look different, but in a good way.

Go to your local dealership, and look through the showroom & lot.
Porsche is now using a red top on the Boxster RS60. Looks great with the GT Silver paint. Not too sure it would look good on a red Porsche.

I had a Silver cab w/ a cocoa top. I didn't like it on silver, but am sure it would look much better on a red car. Here's a pic. Maybe you could photoshop it onto a red cab. I have other angles if you need them.

I am not sure about the mix of cocoa with the tan interior and tan boot cover. Actually, I have never seen a tan boot cover.
I think a tan top could be nice, but perhaps you can have someone photoshop one on your car first. I am partial to the classic black top though

the tan boot cover is very nice... it's full leather and really looks good w/ the top down. I've gotten several comments on it. I can't find a pic of it from the side at this time, but here's one from the rear...

I just had a new top put on my '97 and I talked to the shop about going with a different color than the orig. black (on gray interior). They STRONGLY recommended staying with the black as it would look newer longer and not show dirt nearly as much as the other colors. I stayed with the black (from Gahh). JM .02.
