Sweet!!! I really like how the interior works with the black seats. I wish that I could do the same, but I think that the black exterior makes it work and that it would not look right on an arena red car.

Thanks - I thought about black - vs - savanna seats for a long time, the kicker was I could re-sell the black seats if I needed to, easier than the savanna (so I thought)

I think the black would go with about any color if you add the mats, and a few other items. I want to swap the steering wheel and a couple pieces of the collumn to black as well... I also want to keep it running so there is only so much I can do on my limited budget......since I have a plethora of pieces that DONT FIT

LMAO!!

Ed, you make all of us who own black 991s very proud! Especially when used in the winter months. Nice looking exterior and interior.

Lucky you guys that can ride with no front license plate.

Ed have you ever leather dyed the interior leather? I've been debating doing it and your steering wheel sure looks newish.

Nope - no dye that I know of. The inside of the car is very clean. One of the reasons I fell in love with it.

Since it has accident history prior to my ownership, anything is possible though.

Ziano on the steering wheel too - I am always amazed how much dirt comes off from just using the conditioner, I don't use the cleaner though I have a bottle of that too


It just didn't fit (hahahaha)

Wouldn't a set of GT3 tips look great there, Ed?

Your car is a feast for the eyes, really. Do those seats tilt to allow access to the rear, or is that area inaccessible for anything that won't fit between the seatbacks?

No tilt, skinny kids only!

I almost got stuck back there cleanin the windows last summer, now I move one forward, one back and go between them. Its a biatch no doubt, but one I do not regret. I love the seats!

Do they make GT2 tips for C2? I already had a set of Turbo - yea... They didn't fit

Thanks for the compliments (and jabs!)
