Hmmm.. did Porsche really make a two-tone interior from factory? If I bought this car and converted it to all-black interior (seats swap) and maybe put in RSR door panels... would it diminish the value?

Value is in the eye of the beholder.

Why not look for a car with a full black interior if that's what you really want?

ps, is that thing GR or some kind of orange?

umfan866

Yes it is guards red-- and thats my main preference for exterior. I can't currently find a good red/black car at least in a 993, so I am getting less picky of the interior color.

There's a GR on black 1995 garage queen here; 14k on the odo: http://www.classicautosales.com/Inventory/

That's "a little" misleading advert. Second owner since 14k!!!
The clock says 77k.

Looking at the pics of the GR on black on, appears to have 13, 711 mi on the odo. Nice car. No affil.

Yes, many combinations of colored leather/vinyl + black including carpet, which you see here were available as standard options, then there were 'exclusive' options for more customization and of course, 'Special Wishes', just bring your wallet ...
IMHO, if you destroy the factory parts that came ordered on the car to create something else, you destroy value down the road. The best path would be to buy a black interior, replace what you want and put the stock parts in storage so the next owner can return the car to factory if they want to.

Your right. Sorry. Was looking at the gr with beige interior (cabrio).
That GR on black does look special.

@ umfan866
This car looks fine (subject to closer inspection). I would choose it over the other body damaged one you were looking at.

2 tone is common for European cars. Every Jaguar "r" series has 2 tone with black as the base. Many others do as well.

Honestly, I like it compared to just one light color.

There's a guy that has been advertising a "993 Turbo" black interior for at least a year now in Porsche Panorama "The Mart" section.

umfan866: Your pic looks exactly like my '96 GR with black over cashmere--stock set up OEM.

I would also encourage you to keep the OEM stuff. My preference was to get as close to stock as possible--some folks really like the un-modded, period perfect look.

It's a very easy conversion since carpets are already black. Seats ($1K minus $700 for your cashmere), rear seats ($400 or dye yours black), door panels ($500 or dye yours), center console ($150 minus $100 for your cashmere), shifter and e-brake ($150 for decent black pieces), rear shelf ($100), rear quarter panles ($200 or dye ours).

PS. The guy with $5.5K interior is smoking something really funny. Than again, it's been there for a year and will be there for a few more.
