Does anybody have experience with the Carbon Fiber interior trim with Black interior. I'm about to order an 05 S with Titanium ext/ Black int and am strongly considering the carbon fiber. Any thoughts whether this would look good or not?

I'm also considering getting the grab handles on the center console done in carbon fiber so if anyone has changed these to either wood or carbon fiber and has an opinion on how they look, please share.

Thanks for any input!

 

I have the same color scheme that you plan to order (Titanium/Blk), and it's a great combo for looks and ease in keeping reasonably clean. While I do not have Carbon Fiber, my take is that it would go better with gray interior. I think it would get lost with black interior. Consider getting a wood steering wheel -- I don't have it, but I've seen it, and it looks really good.

 

For anybody who's curious, I ended up ordering the Titanium w/ black interior and light wood trim. Should be a good contrast to the black and catch the eye well. My dealer indicated the carbon fiber does look very good in black b/c it catches the light and shows a greyish tint but the light wood will be a better contrast. Plus the extra $2k for a couple of strips didn't seem worth it. Cheers!

 

I ordered my Carbon fibre interior from Carnewal , great stuff. It is installed on my targa, I think it looks even better on black as there is a tremendous degree of contrast with the light grey interior, but to each there own.

Here is a pic as an example in my Targa, I am considering the CF in my wifes Cayenne S as well ( blk/blk)

 

I have ordered a C-TT with stone grey and carbon fiber. I think the contrast with grey and carbon looks great. Here's a picture from a Porsche site.

 

Both of those interiors look great. I almost certainly would have gone CF with the grey interior. My dealer indicated that I can get the Gemballa CF interior package for approx $600 after I take delivery of the car so if the light wood interior isn't everything I want it to be, I may ditch the bitch and make the switch!

 

My Titanium/grey smooth leather CS went to the dealer today for installation of carbon fiber interior kit and carbon fiber shifter. (Also getting clear side markers at same time.)

Love the pics I have seen of the grey with carbon and can't wait to see it in person. Will try to followup with some pics.

 

I bought my Cayenne turbo off the lot, it had the carbon fiber interior...no wood at all. It was a lot, $3000....but i didnt have much of a choise.... I got 7K off MSRP so i wasnt complaining....

It does look phat though.....definatly like the look.
