)By that I mean we both have the same dials if your car came with the standard S ones. So it's a little like me saying po-tay-toe and you saying po-tah-toe.
The white dials I believe match Carrara White in color - there's no question about them being white when looking at them.
The aluminum look dials, which is what I believe the standard S dials are called, have a frosted reflective surface appearance that appears very light in color (as in that PCNA pic you provided) but gradually transition to a black face as the ambient lighting goes dark.
I think they're an option on the base 997 car for those who like this unique transition look.
That's my opinion. .... I could be wrong.

I have thought that if mine was painted to match the outside of the car (like the pic) it would be a little more 'rugged'.

Your cocoa interior looks good the way it is, imo. I meant the way you describe it. You'll need to provide pics of course for me to say for sure.
Oh, I presume you'll need help in posting pics?
See the help section for instructions.

Mass enlightenment for me, I had no idea about that thread. And now I know that there is a leather wraped version of what I have, that would be nice. I will get some pics after the next cleaning and thanks for the assist.
