IHMO. Like your silver cab better and not a fan of cream. Just one opinion and in minority.

Looks fantastic. In 3 years if you can't sell it, I'll buy it from you!

Here is a shot of the interior. It's darker red than it looks in the picture. Not sure why it's displaying upside down but if you open in a new window it's correct.

Thank you. I like the color of our silver cab, as well. I go back and forth, difficult decision.

Black. It's a good contrast and breaks up the red. I was thinking of having Eric at Bumper plugs paint some of the interior pieces in gloss black to further break up some of the red but the more I sit in the car, the more I grow fond of the red interior.

I think people need to buy the color combo they like. I own an '09 Blk/Bkk 997.2 S Cab but I'm pretty traditional. It will be your car. Only your opinion matters.

That said, you asked for honest opinions. Mine differs from most that have posted. I don't like the cream color and I strongly dislike the old school fuchs and black stone guards. Add the red interior and it's a car I wouldn't consider buying even at a steep discount.

Again, only your opinion matters. However, I would consider "resale" when you make your decision. Either way you will love owning a 997.2

Yes, have to agree. Not a fan of the red interior (not with black over cream anyway). I do like the black over cream combination though.

Hate to say it, but I wouldn't get Cream White, unless I was a girl. To me, it has a pinkish hue to it.

I can see that. In different lights it can tend to look more white or more red. I was thinking that the black guards/wheels would break up the color a bit, make it look a little darker.

I don't like it, but I'm not buying it. Buy what you and the wife want.
