Congrats on the new car...looks fantastic, and great Fuchs wheels! Mine isn't actually PTS, but it was a special order color for 2009 that seems to be fairly uncommon: Cream White. It's hard to tell how creamy it is without any point of reference. I parked it next to a Carrera White 991 one time, and the contrast between the two was pretty stark. Mine is trimmed in Brown Natural Leather, with Forgeline FU3C wheels in Satin Bronze. I added some old-school Coco Mats as well. Enjoy your new ride!

Love this car. Bet it would just as great with the Cocoa brown interior.
Thanks! You know, I thought the exact same thing. Cocoa would be an outstanding complement to a Cream exterior. Natural Brown and Cocoa both feel rich and luxurious every time I sit in a car with them. They always feel super warm, and the Natural Brown reminds me of an old baseball glove. I went with the Fuchs style wheels and throwback Coco Mats to try and go for a retro feel...it just felt right for this car when I took possession.
Love the retro classic look of the cream white paired with fuchs wheels, Jeff.
That natural brown interior is stunning, same as in my previous 996 C4 Millenium edition.
How do you like those mats...I was going to get those and I decided to get the beige ones instead as my interior is Natural brown full, leather Plus but I didn't have the ***** to go the calico route! Do you like them?
Here’s another cream white. Although mine has black interior. I’m debating adding the “jaspe” coco mats to keep the retro vibes going. How do you guys like the coco mats?
Jaspe Coco Mats arrived this evening. Y’all weren’t kidding on how substantial they feel versus the factory carpet mats. I’m digging them. Below are some quick night shots of them installed in my car.

Sweet! They nicely break up the sea of black in your car, just like they break up the sea of brown in mine. I was really hesitant to order Jaspe for my car. They are pretty bold compared to the tame mats most people are used to seeing. When I showed my wife the Jaspe sample before ordering, she was like, "You're going to put those in that car!?!" Once I installed them however, she completely flip-flopped and thought they were cool. They're one of the first things people react to positively when they see the car in person. The only downside as you note, is that they add about 4 lbs. to the curb weight.
Anyone have a photo of the Jaspe mats with Cocoa interior. I think they would really make a statement. Btw soft top is cocoa and car is silver. Unique combo and not for everyone

totally agree. My wife however hasn’t warmed up to them yet. She was like “you stick to picking out the mats for your car, and I’ll pick out the ones for the house…”

Okay...I can't resist...I have to order those...should have done that with my first order!!

not my picture (found in the web) and not a 997, but this should give you an idea of the Jaspe mats might look with cocoa brown interior
Here's mine.. it's a 07 vesuvio grey metallic. It's great to see all the unique colors out there! Here's mine. It's an 2007 S with 165k on it ... Runs and drives great! Glad to see others out there enjoying some miles on these great cars!
