Thank you.

No regrets. I absolutely love the look, feel, and smell of the full leather red interior. It's gorgeous, IMO.

And yes, I deviated the carpets to black. To my eyes, the red carpets that Porsche uses don't quite match the red leather and it's just a bit too much red like that. I think the black carpets and black suede headliner break it up nicely and compliment one another nicely.

I have GT Silver with Terracotta.I bought it off the show room floor.I really like the combo, fell in love when I saw it. I often think if I were doing a build I would switch to natural brown which would definitly look hot or I love the midnight blue nat. brown combo.Biggest advantage of midnight is that high gloss deep shine you do not get with silvers

Would have to see the GT/nat combo in person.

Agree w/ mal28's post above- that cocoa really compliments the GT silver. One of earliest examples of GT/cocoa I believe was on the 2004 Boxster anniversary edition. Someone local to me drives one and even after 5 yrs and one 987 body style later it is still very striking.

Ran a quick search string.. there are a couple GT/natty brown out there-

Wow, thanks everyone for the great information and photo links.

The GT silver color certainly seems to be very versatile with various interior colors. The natural brown, cocoa, and red all seem to work very well with the GT silver. Just personal preference after that.

Picking colors for a Porsche turns out to be a complex task due to the multitude of options/variations available. Those photos are a tremendous help.
