I love this forum. I saw another post that pointed me to the sale. I have Sand Beige, so given the choices I was wondering if Natural Brown mats might work. I do a quick search and end up here with pictures. Now I know its a safe bet. Thanks guys!
I saw the sale still going at Suncoast and there're some mats that I think I'd like to order but I see there's a distinction between 997 cabrios with or without Bose. What do they mean here? I haven't picked up my new-to-me 997.2 yet but I know it has the standard 9-speaker Bose package.
I think the Bose package affects the shape of the floor mat, because the speakers require the panels to protrude a bit into foot areas, so the mat shape is ultimately different, because the floor shape is different.

The Bose system includes a footwell mounted bass unit (on the console tunnel on the left side of the passenger footwell) which changes the shape of the passenger floor mat.
At least this is the case in the 987 range of cars.
Just got the natural brown mats for my sand beige interior. For $30 vs $175 I think it's acceptible. Frankly my seats, steering wheel/dash and carpet no longer match each other perfectly either, having darkened or faded independently over the years.
My car came with the optioned Blue mats with a Sand Beige interior. Looks great
I think that's because your car's exterior is blue. Mine's black so I think blue might not be the best choice. Sand was my 1st, then black, but neither was on sale and my OEM mats weren't in that bad shape yet. Although when I took them out of the car, the driver's side especially looked a little shabbier than they did in the car. The natural brown just eeks by, because it and the sand beige are both basically the same hue, with the brown having more chroma and saturation. Plus for such a great deal my color vision is somewhat forgiving
Suncoast had the Terracota mats on sale for $30 and had a set that fit my car (with Bose), so at that price, figured I didn't have much to lose. I think it doesn't look too bad in the sand beige interior. Maybe not as good as some of the other color combos, but not horrible, IMHO.

If worst comes to worse, I can always sell them.
I saw the Terracotta mats advertised at Suncoast too and I was tempted to buy a set since sand beige and natural brown were no longer available (on sale).
I'm glad now that I didn't go for the Terracotta.
I like the color, but it doesn't seem to go with the beige interior at all (in my opinion, of course).

Like it. Breaks up all the beige in a subtle way...T
