Default Color Choices

I'm getting ready to order an '04 C2 coupe and was curious about color choices, given that one can't really find the cars to look at themselves. I plan on ordering Atlas Grey metallic and wondered if the black leather or graphite gray leather (seats only) would look better. Anyone care to offer an opinion? TIA.

If it is just the seats and not the whole interior, I vote for the gray with your wallet. Just my own preference here, but I do not really love any of the single-tone interiors (although certainly black works) and I think deviating seats would be very cool.

Boxster Red seats would also get my vote for that exterior, but I wouldn't want the carpets or wheel/shifter/brake that color.

anybody have pics with boxster red interior with deviated gray carpets? i think boxster gray would go really well with seal gray, but am wondering if the tint in the atlas gray would look good with red interior. then again, i haven't seen the atlas gray in person.

Depending on your tolerance for all the black, you can do a full leather black interior, add some bits of aluminum, and do the gray mats. Breaks it up a bit.

Here's a shot of the Boxster Red w/deviating mats:

also, anybody think the large aluminum package would clash with the seal gray? i doubt it, but could see it looking a little odd.

I've seen interior bits painted Seal Grey on a few 911's w/ Seal Grey exterior - looks fantastic, much nicer than painted-to-look-like-aluminum stuff, IMHO.

If you go with sports seats, backs painted ext color would give you the deviant look that seats-only in grey would provide.
