I may just do Black on Black with red seat belts but I think after sitting for a extended amount of time in Comfort seats and adaptives , I think for me adaptives are more Comfy and Supportive

The comfort seat backrest ends at my shoulder blades and that was uncomfortable

Just picked up my Basalt black over dark natural gray full leather 2009 manual C2S coupe - with red belts. Absolutely thrilled with the looks and feel! Sport seats great fit - for me - with upper seat "flanges". Good luck.

I think the std seats with full leather may be better as a DD, any opinions?
3) Full leather in Black- is it worht it with black leather or it is not that apparent?
4) Gonaa get Red seat belts and rear center console painted black to brighten the interior - what do you guys think?
5) Anyone got 09 ventilated seats? are they effective?
  1. Great color, IMO.
  2. I absolutely love the sports seats in my 997S and find them much more comfortable and supportive than the standard seats. But perhaps that's my body size/shape speaking.
  3. Full leather is absolutely worth it, IMO. It looks great and smells wonderful. Do it.
  4. I personally don't like the colored seat belts. No offense to anyone, but it's a bit contrived IMO. But then I love my red interior so what the hell do I know?
  5. Haven't tried them. I've experienced ventilated seats in several Lexus models and found them to be very effective. I'm sure Porsche is the same.

I have narrowded the exterior color choices to Black and Carrera white

I have a balck car and from far they look good anf from close u can see the dust, pollen, scratches etc and on white it is not abvious

Never had a white, So may get a Carerra white with Black Adaptve sport seats?

Carerra white coupe owners, can you chime in with your experiience with white

Thanks

Crrera white is a great color. Had it on my 997 GT3 now have it on the Cayman S. My wife has the Sand White on her Cayenne GTS and we have Gran Prix white on the '83 SC so the '09 Carrera S will be Artic Silver only to make a change. Carerra White also looks great with just about any interior color so you can mix and match. What ever color they are great cars enjoy.

White and silver are both very forgiving colors for not showing dirt and dust. That is likely one of the reasons they are the 2 most popular color choices for new cars. It doesn't matter whether the white is on a Carrera or any other car.

IMHO, Meteor is the most forgiving, yet best looking (...clearly personal preference here) of the current color crop for 911's.

Arctic Silver is very forgiving, next Carrara White, Meteor less so.
