Default New Grey Boot Cover

I just found this OEM Grey Boot Cover on EBay.

What do you think?








I'm still undecided. I think part of it is I'm used to the black.


One of my thoughts was now I really need to get the seatbacks painted Arctic Silver.
Should I also paint the cargo hoops?
I do have a SS and Classic Grey shifter and handbrake to install, along with some Rennline SS door handles.

As an aside, this was a very nice seller on EBay (I have absolutely no connection to him) and I saw he had an OEM 993 Turbo Tail for sale as well.
If you are looking for one, check it out (local pickup in CA):http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PORSC...#ht_500wt_1182
He was negotiable on price, BTW.

Black boot/ arctic silver are the better contrast in my opinion.

I like it, but I'll point out that boot = trunk. What you have there is a convertible top cover.

All the snaps lined up with no problems? I know you had some concerns when I was selling mine.

Doc -

As Justin said, the grey cover looks sharp. You still have the black one, yes? Having a choice of how the car looks, is a good thing... No?

Always match the boot cover to the soft top but when it's down it can just match the interior and look right too (so you have two looks with your black tonneau)
Mine is classic gray just like the soft top and the interior too contrasting the Ocean Blue exterior in an elegant way
I will try and post pics tomorrow so you can see it

really makes the HB sport seats POP.

I'm usually a big proponent of painting the seatbacks, but the silver backs would just disappear into the Classic Grey seats, and grey boot.

Agree with Magdaddy. Its possible to be too monochromatic.

I like as well. Finishes the car out nicely.
