Can you post some more pics with some interior shots? Sounds like a great combo.

Thanks all, I appreciate the warm welcome replies.

As for the specs: 2006 911 S, 6 spd, sport chrono, nav, and classic carrera wheels. Also yes, I'm in Hawaii and do plan to join the Porsche club.

All of my former black cars have been black on black or black with grey. But I do love this Basalt Black/Cocoa combo. Here's a pic of the interior...

Great looking car - interior is rich - my fav wheels too - I'm waiting to see if that Fuchs resurection rumor is true, and if it doesn't happen, I'm bound to go for some of those classic wheels.

Excellent interior color! That looks very sharp. I like the marbleized look of the cocoa in your '06. When I was shopping for mine, I considered cocoa interior. But the 997.2 cocoa leather supposedly do not marbleize and have a flat consistent cocoa. I think this looks more interesting.

Thanks. Didn't realize cocoa on the 997.2 is different. I like the marble look too, gives it more character IMHO.

Thank you!

Looking at this beautiful interior, I was thinking I had to have cocoa on my next P-car.

Congrats! I wish I had that car instead of the Seabring rental; when I was in HI. The roads are just made for Porsches.
