I have a black 997S with sand interior, my wife has a midnight blue CaymanS with sand interior. She has Recaro black track seats in her car. I used black Euro GT3 seats (996) in mine last year but have sold them since. I also used red harnesses and she uses black. I'll look to see if I have any pics, but I really liked the look!

Really? Did you have all beige, or you had two-tone black/beige interior? I thought it'd look funny... all beige and just black seats!

all sand beige. The track seats are black and the harness bar also, everything else is sandy. I don't have any interior pics so I can't show it off (her car is at the track this week).

p-cardriver, it will be really appreciated if you post some pics of your wife's car.
Since I want to upgrade to black recaro seats, I really want to see how they look.
Hopefully, black seats match well with sand beige interior.

Why is posting a pic from a MAC so hard?

Note that there is already a lot of black trim in the car from the factory. Sorry about the snow mats, not the prettiest but they do protect the carpet during "that" season.

Love those seats... where/how much u got em for? I may get one of those!

However, to me, it really doesn't looks good at all in a beige car.

We got them at Northstar just outside of Chicago. Any Recaro dealer/race shop should have them. They are actually two different models. The driver's seat is smaller/narrower as this is my wife's car, but she was kind enough to get a larger passenger/instructor seat as well. We bought these two years ago so maybe there is a newer model or whatever.

As to the contrasting black on tan, I guess taste is personal. I wouldn't want tan track seats, however, because of all the dirt/grit. They'd look pretty bad very quickly.

Nice setup in the car. I am thinking of the same thing on my Cayman S. Do you have the model #'s of the seats and railing if any. How difficuly was in the install?

Any other advice would be most appreciated
