I went full leather, including console and door finishers. (On a GT3)

At this price, it's fitting.

I was on the fence but chose the standard plastiky dash. I have to admit that the full Leather does look awesome.

I went for the full leather and the thicker leather steering wheel. Will use ROW seats so the major factor for myself was the dash.

Just remember to leave the windows up so people don't keep reaching in to clean their hands on the steering wheel. : )

I went with full leather, but kept the Alcantara/Suede wheel, which is just plain nice to use and not thin. I have the thick wheel on the 996 and it's an advantage over the stock 996 wheel, but that's not apparent compared to the stock Alcantara wheel on the 997.
