Nice car! I've got a similar color scheme, with Forest Green Metallic and the Chestnut Brown interior. I posted earlier about my quest to find mats for my interior. Here's what I learned:

The Porsche Silverknit Carpet color PSL37 Castega is a near 100% match. I got floormats made by
World Upholstery & Trim and they were very nice. You can get them with the logo of your choice embroidered (or no logo – I got the crest). In real life, they match much more than they do in the pic (my faded carpet doesn't help). It's certainly an improvement over the generic black mats that my car came with.

Super happy with the product and customer service at World Upholstery & Trim. No affiliation, yada, yada, just a satisfied customer.

You should bring yours to the show I'm hosting in October. (insert shameless plug). The entry list is quite nice and we are hiring a police detail.



Regards,

Thanks for sharing that! Will definitely be there! Will be my first gathering and looking forward to it.

Congrats, very handsome exterior/interior combination - Lloyds mats may have a close match to Chestnut (they send samples for you to confirm your choice before ordering), just a satisfied customer here.

Congrats on the car. I too like rare combos. I also like wood. I will say to really appreciate the wood it helps to see it in person.

It was a very pricey option. I believe mine was north of $8K. So you know the original owner must have liked it too.

Enjoy your new ride.

I love the rotwood. It is rare to see the dash and doors in wood.

I think some cocomats would look great to replace the faded originals.

Welcome & Congrats!

Sounds like a great find considering the one owner, highly optioned and affordable price factors.

You're right, the root wood really does blend well with the chestnut leather - definitely the best I've seen root wood look in a 993.

Enjoy in good health - I doubt you will see another that is the same.

Congrats on your 993. I'm not a fan of the wood dash. Good in a Rolls or a Healey 3000, but not a 993 IMHO. Otherwise, I think the combo is striking, and probably fairly rare. Looks fantastic.
And you're right........Steinel's Autowerks in Twinsburg, OH is absolutely the best.

Welcome to Team Cab!

I'd love to see this one in person. Pictures of our cars never seem to do them justice.
