Default Sand/Black interior pics, anyone?

Yeah, seen plenty on the Porsche.com site, but I'm 'just wondering' how this might look with Guards:

Black/Sand interior, full leather, where the factory does the black upper dash, black upper doors, and steering wheel in black, rest in Sand Beige. But...I wonder about adding center seat sections in deviating black to pull it all together.

Anyone see that yet?

So it would have black dash, black upper door section, black steering wheel, and black seat centers with bolsters up/down in sand, same in back seats.

Thoughts?

Here you go, best fitting example I can remember the location of, in a cab - even has carbon console so you can get an idea of what it looks like deviating from the sand (and I happen to like how the car looks, esp with the sport seats contrasting back adding to the theme ) :







Obviously I have looked at way too many 997s for sale

Hope that helps

Oh, and for what its worth I did see a car for sale with the seat centers in black on a sand interior. I would have expected to like it as I am a fan of two tone, but I was actually surprised to find that it was not my cup of tea - I just didn't love how it turned out with the design of the seats and interior, came out looking kind of busy. Maybe if there was less contrast, like black and gray it would have been more to my liking.

Appreciate the replies. If I went this route, I'd probably forego the idea of the seat inserts. Not yet 100% on the black steering wheel, but otherwise I kind of like the black touches on the Sand, tones it down a bit.
