Metropol Blue is a great interior and bit underrated right now. I think in the future that blue interior will be prized. Looks amazing with aluminum trim. What color is your exterior?
Mine is Arctic Silver. I kind of jest about the green interior but there was one for sale in the online PCA classifieds when I was 996TT shopping in 2014. I think that car was also Arctic Silver as well. It did look kind of cool in the pics but like you say about the gray in could have used some contrast. I think that is true of all the light colors.

When i was 996 shopping 2 years ago i passed up an all stock silver with grey interior 50K miles, Ca car, clean with records for $36K because the car didn't "move me". Instead i bought a silver with black interior modded (the right mods) car that had been tracked and the wing didn't work with 45k miles for $43K because it spoke to me. No regrets (well maybe, i really wanted Guards red with tan interior) but still have not come across one i would have purchased in the 2 years since. Colors are a very personal thing, yet there are better colors for re-sale.

For what its worth, I passed over cars with the light gray interior when looking for a 996TT. Wanted black but ended up with Metropol Blue which I really like.
I have the metropol blue interior too, it is really nice. The interesting part of metropol blue is that it looks really bad in pictures, usually way to red/purple.

If you want to keep the stock tires for resale down the road fine but for God same get them off the car. 15 year old tires are not safe to drive on going any sporty driving. They have lost most of their grip and have broken down to a point were a potential failure at high speed could result in a crash. Anything over 5 years old on a performance car is a big no no
