Default pics of full leather dash

I'm considering upgrading to a full leather dash, but all of the pics I can find are straight on. I'd like to see more pics of it from a higher angle so I can see how it looks surrounding the sport chrono area.

thanks!

I just added leather visors to help complete my full leather interior. Funny how just the addition of those two visors brought back that "new car" leather smell into my car... now with 53K miles on the clock. Well worth the expense.

Hi H'..my car's at the dealer waiting for them to warranty some issues (long story and the dealer is awful so I'm at their mercy).

I dont have the Sports Chrono bubble in my car, but if you can wait let me know and I can take pix of my full leather dash at all angles for you once I get it back sometime next week (if the dealer doesnt give me more excuses)..it's a black interior btw

Ooooh that's really nice. I guess it would've been nicer if it had stitching around the sport chrono, but I still like it. And I guess I would need leather for pcm and pdk surrounds.

Thanks for the pics guys. Since I have a GTS it has a mix of rubber/plastic, leather, and alcantara.

I have leather on the steering wheel and armrest cover that says Carrera GTS on it that I like.

I have some alcantara on the doors (door grab and storage cover), and on the handbrake and of course the seats.

The rest is rubber or plastic.

Originally I wanted the sportdesign paddle shifter pdk steering wheel, but I have gotten used to the buttons so that's some money saved. And I really love carbon fiber, but that would be too many different types of materials in the car.

So far the long term plans (not going to do this all at once) are leather dash first. Then pcm and pdk surround in leather. Probably won't touch center console which is plastic.

I'm trying to think what would look good without it looking unbalanced of too many different materials with no flow. I think there should be some continuity and balance of materials. The alcantara really messes things up imho. Is there such a thing as car fung shui? Or I could just go with an alcantara center console and armrest and forget about leather, but I really like the looks of the leather dash, pcm and pdk surround.

USMC, I bet she smells so good with all that leather.
