Default GT Silver with Stone Grey

Does anyone have a photo of a Silver 997 with Stone Grey interior? What do you think of this combination? I was concerened that it could be a little boaring?

No pics, however I have seen it. Very clean and understated, almost monochomatic IMO. I did like that the OEM Sport wheels looked like they were pained to match the car, looked custom.

given the choice, what's a nicer combination. Black on Black or Silver on Stone Grey? these are my two options. LEaning toward black/black again.

My last two cars were black. It is such a tough color as you probably know. Hard to take care of and every little thing shows, but a real show stopper!

I would probably go with the silver/blue combo recommended above. You could also have some interior pieces painted the exterior color.

Black interior is best *IMO* because the 997 interior looks so busy with lines, different shapes, dividers, buttons, different materials, trim. *IMO* it's not a real smooth and cleanly designed interior; it's rather kinda jumbled up. Black deemphasizes the confusion.

Tough call MMD, black can get pretty hot in some climates.

When I see them, both are stunning when detailed out. That silver can look deep enough to put your hand through. And the black, well we both know. If it's a daily driver I would do the light color. P/T or weekend funcar: classic black on black...Quality Problems!
