Default Silver and Cocoa

Hi,

In my 997 shopping, I came across an Arctic Silver over Cocoa 997. I would love to see pics of your GT/arctic silver/cocoa combos...which do you like better, GT or Arctic? Also, how does the cocoa interior hold up?

Thanks!

I don't have a picture for you, but that color combination would be beautiful. Vintage and modern at the same time. Lol. And unique.

It's a great combo, one of the best. The GT silver is really nice and is much bluer than the artic silver that has quite a brown tint it to it.

Default I have GT Silver with Cocoa full leather interior

IMO, it's a very classy (old British Touring) look and fell in love with it the moment I saw it. My Avatar picture you can see a little of the interior but I don't have any current pics of the inside.

As far as holding up, the leather in my car was near flawless and a solid treatment of Leatherique made it pop. My console, (also Cocoa,) has a few small nicks like a lot of car do; I'll most likely get Eric to send me a core GT Silver console to set off the interior.

GT silver would be my first choice with the Cocoa. It has a bit of brown hue to it. Artic silver would be good also.

Here's the GT Silver + Cocoa combo in a Bumper Plugs photo.

When they came out with the natural cocoa it was a vastly improved leather--finding it may be hard.
