Default Color combo

I am about to place my order

Anyone have shots of the following combos:

Midnight Blue / Black
Midnight Blue / Black and Grey

Ruby Red / Black

I browsed through the interiors shot thread a few lines down without luck. I appreciate any help.

You're not going to find too many pictures of Ruby Red with any interior as it is "new"* this year. However, it is the color combo that I just ordered, so I will have pictures for you in 2 1/2 months, if you can wait.

*New is somewhat loose in that Ruby Red was used in the early 60's on the 356.

Surely a stupid question, but have you played around with the Porsche car configurator? It is an indispensible tool, especially with fairly uncommon colors. Also, I looked at hundreds of pictures by going through dealer inventory all over the country with the help of the Porsche dealer locator. What options are you considering?

Marty, you and I did the exact same thing. I must have visited 50 different dealer websites looking for pictures of the combo's I was interested in. I wish Porsche would allow you to search dealer's new-car inventory--it would have made the process much easier.

If you're looking for other opinions (which shouldn't really matter, since you're the one spending the money and using the car), I love the 2-tone gray/black interiors, which of course forces you to full leather option, which is also nice but pricey.

GR997S: That is a gem of a car you have. Great colors and options.

I'm not looking for other opinions. I want to be able to show my wife pictures of the different color combos. I like the ruby, but (please no offense to anyone) my wife says it is a feminine color for a mans car. I am probably leaning toward the MB with either all black or black and grey. GR997S has showed me the two tone works in MB. I had only seen it in a black car.

Oops, sorry, should have read your first message more carefully. Good luck with making your selection (you can hardly go wrong).

Default Midnight Blue with Black

Here is a nice example of Midnight Blue and black, separated by a stainless entry guard, which I think looks great between the two colors.

2-tone is a great way to go...





But I do think Ruby Red with black interior would be a good way to go.
