Default Will Porsche Do This Two Tone Interior Combination?

Can anyone tell me if Porsche will do a two tone interior of Natural Brown with Black instead of Sand/Black?

I think that combo to include black carpets may look nice with a black exterior, but wonder if it is possible?

I appreciate any opinions as to whether it would be an appealing look as well.

I think it could be done provided you have a good sales person and lots of patience, but it'll cost you. I also think it woud look very nice. What color exterior are you thinking about?

Thanks for the replies so far.

The post done here by greencherry made me realize how nice the black carpets looked, and then I began to wonder if the dash and tops of the door panels were black, and maybe the Rear Center Console in black to match a black exterior..??

I wish I had Photoshop and I'd play with greencherry's beautiful interior a little.

I think this 2 tone natty brown/black interior with the ordered black carpet that Boo pointed out is an excellent combination with a black exterior.

What really gives this interior its stunning good looks is the crowning touch of the c/f steering wheel w/natty brown leather and the matching handbrake. An all leather wheel would not work as well, regardless of color - either all brown or all black. And the reason for that is that the hub of the wheel and the grips on the side line up pretty well visually with the lower part of the dash that's in natty brown. The dark c/f section on top of the wheel lines up visually with the black part of the dash.

This interior has "designer look" written all over it. Wish the owner, Bux, would post more pics of his interior, especially daytime pics.

I think black dials would work better color-coordination-wise. Oh, and it goes without saying to lose the wart - it's hideous and ruins the beauty of the dash.

i think it's very nice...but definitely special, perhaps not for everybody. I would do it but it must be very pricey

Yes they will!

Look at vehicle order guide section: "Custom Tailoring and Deviations - Other"

Option 24921 Upper Dash Deviating Color $470
Option 24951 Deviating Carpet $630
etc.

You may have to post a larger deposit for a special order.

Agreed! Porsche will do almost anything you want for "A Few Dollars More."

All this time I thought that was a spaghetti western starring Clint Eastwood.

The question is does the "two-tone" interior with the black dash (ordered say in sand beige) have any other black accents that you do not get by ordering "upper dash deviating color" (with, say, natural brown leather)?

I found these pictures of Natural Brown leather with the painted black center console and seat backs also in black.

I am wondering why Porsche does not offer more of a "saddle tan", as I think that would look nice with the black accents as I saw here.

I guess there is always "color to sample for just a few dollors more than the special leathers.

Have any of you ordered a "color to sample" for the interior and if so, did it come in as you had hoped for?

Boolala - with the "two-tone" interior, the top half of the interior is black, including the steering wheel. The two attachments below are from the Porsche Configurator, showing the Sand Beige/Black option.

I think other items could be changed, too. For example, if you wanted to add Deviating Carpet color in Black, I would think you could do that.

Thanks. I'm thinking of ordering my next car with natural brown leather, upper dash black, carpets black and Makassar wood trim on the steering wheel, handbrake and shift lever.
