All reds above your question are Boxster.... One of those colors that changes in different lights - sometimes looks more terra-cotta / sometimes is much more red.

With black carpets, black headliner & your existing CF = stunning.

Flamenco doesn't do it for me, but the carpet deviation looks great. Wish there were shots of the headliner!

I think it's easy to go over the top with red.

If you go for it, consider black carpet to contrast with the red leather.

I don't think there will be any effect on resale from an "originality" standpoint.

I think the navy looks great, and since it isn't as "loud" as red, it might also be more attractive to a wider market on resale.

If it were my car I'd do Lobster Red (other reds are too bright) upper and lower dashs, console, seats, door panels and package shelf with black or charcoal perlon carpet and black stock perforated headliner. Leave the dash inset black for some contrast.

Here we go! As I start to get my interior back together I figured I'd put some teaser posts together. I've been swamped at work lately so my apologies for the short posts and crappy iPhone pics, but I'm too excited not to share.

First off the headliner is installed, I went with a black Alcantara and it looks great. I have CF RS door panels coming from marcus in the next few days, and the interior is being installed as I type. I didn't love any of the OEM reds so don't kill me for going Italian on the leather! The Ferrari red is absolutely beautiful and Jack at GAHH was an absolute pleasure to work with. They don't normally do installs, but i managed to convince him to take on my project. the level of detail was second to none and after seeing everything in pieces, I'm more than pleased with the results. I attached a few pics of the dash below, and i know it might not be for everyone, but I'm very pleased with my choices. Seat backs got painted yesterday, and the 993 HB seats should be done soon too!



On another note...For all of the photographers out there, please let me know how to photo this color... sometimes it looks burgundy, sometimes it looks orange!

Its all been done already, and putting it back together this week. The seats look incredible and if i wasn't in the middle of moving id be taking (and posting) lots of pics. only thing really left for me to do is the steering wheel. I don't think i want it red, but a recover would be nice!

Finally, thank you to everyone for kind words and support! Ill post finished product pics early next week.
