That I didn't know. GT Silver is so much more richer in color and depth to my eye. I love it.

Here's my Boxster Red interior with Arctic Silver center console and other silver accents I've added. The only thing i don't like about the Boxster Red is the steering wheel shows up dirt pretty quickly. I have a set of black mats and red mats so I can change up the look a tad. I usually run black mats due to dirt.

OP your car is two blocks from where I work. If you got time I'd love to check it out... pm me.

Like the red with silver accents inside that's a nice contrast. Like the pedals too, where did those come from?

Thanks. The pedals are from Gert at carnewal.com Not sure of the brand name but the quality is superb and I didn't want any logos on them. They were around $150 IIRC.

Here are couple quick shots. What really cool is the addtional leather detail around all vents, speakers and visor. Makes it unique.

Now that's different, I'd never thought of gray with red but it looks nice! I'm in the process of buying used spare interior parts to have covered in black alcantara to do a two tone interior. Your pics give me some great ideas and perspective.

Having all those in leather is very, very nice. I still cringe when I see the cheap vinyl sun visors they put in these $100+k cars..... shameful.

That looks really nice. Great combo with the paint.

you'll have to provide a bigger picture than that so we can see it...

I like the two tone but i would rather have black and something. I think Porsche's interiors are just to much monochrome, i like the red or the tan or whatever but it needs to have black mixed into too, it is way to much color for my taste. For that reason, i prefer the stock black interior.

Imagine that red and gray interior, now swap the gray with black, that would look super cool.
