+1 to black on red (what I have), followed very closely by turquise/riviera/mexico blue on black. Arena on gray, or silver on black/red, adventurine on cashmere...

...in truth, I've never met a 993 color combo I didn't like...

I loved my (late) black 964 targa with cashmere interior.

Its funny how people like to go with trends in this question. Initially I wanted a Silver/black 993 just because silver hides dirt well when you dont wash it and its a good repelant color for the sun. However, the best model available when I was in the market was a black/tan and its really grown on me.

The new 997 ivory color is GORGEOUS! ITs like a light creme color, off white, pearlish, very classy! And Im glad there is green out this year just like the old 912s.

Silver on green. That's a phrase you don't usually think of when referring to a 993

It's so rare to see a Nephrite Green interior (I think that's the color)... on a 993. It's a color you either love or hate, obviously.

Are you the gentlemen that bought the interior parts from the 993 TT in Nephrite or did yours come this way? That's pretty cool looking.

That's what I thought. You must be one of the few people (or only person) on the planet with that color combo for your specific car. Kudos to you! Was there ever a moment when weren't sure this was the right move or not in this Nephrite upgrade? (like in the middle of the night?) It was a very bold choice. Turned out great.

when I saw the interior advertised on Ebay i didn`t bid on it as i wasn`t sure.
after the auction i showed my wife who flipped and called me all sorts of names
for not buying it. she is pretty good with color combo`s and convinced me to go and look at it. if it wasn`t viewable i would not have purchased it. As soon as we put the colors together I was convinced. It is not a color that i would have chosen.
but am very happy with the result, considering that it cost me about 1/5 of a retrim and i got all the extra goodies with it

Then it was good all around. And, you'll never see it again in a Silver NA 993.
