    997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    Nice combination.

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    Looks nice ....and I like the "minimal" carbon fiber, goes well with the black.

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    Car's got a lot of options. leather Door finsihers, rear center consule leather, carbon package, switch panel end trim leather, gear trim leather(in front of the shifter), steering colummn leather, PCM trim leather, carbon fiber door entry guards, floor mats w/ color trim. Don't like tan interiors but nicely done.

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    What do you think of the leather PCM option? Works well in this case IMHO. The problem with bi-color interiors is that there are just too many colors in it, so removing the volcano grey helps make the interior look less busy.

    Moreover, the bi-color interior organizes the dashboard around a horizontal line, whereas in a normal interior, it is organized around the vertical line made by the grey PCM and the silver middle air vents. As a consequence, a bi-color interior is organized around both lines, which doesn't flow as well. Removing the grey PCM removes the vertical line and solves this problem.

    Or am I just worrying too much about this?

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    Wow. $2230 for the PCM package Leather.

    Which pieces do you get for that? Is it only the lower PCM dash panel?

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    Close to perfection, maybe a carbon fiber steering wheel?

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    I ordered a Carbon fibre steering wheel as well. I find unlike the very disciplined I sometimes drive at 12 o'clock and the leather tends to fatique there...I think the carbon fibre wheel is just the ticket...atleast thats what I am hoping. Unfortunately it's not available in the heavier steering wheel..:-(

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    amazing $2230 for PCM leather--


    that said, it's worth it IMO.


    i'm not a carbon-guy with the turbo, just feels forced and rather contrived to me compared to other vehicles...

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    That's about $6K in leather and carbon, but looks like its well worth the upgrade.

    Which steering wheel is this? Multi-function? It looks thicker.....

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    The multifunction...apparently it's only available in standard size for carbon option. Atleast thats what I was advised by my rep..:-)

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    The wheel looks thicker because the owner had the Volcano Grey part of the wheel replaced with leather (it's an Exclusive option). But it actually is just as thick as the regular MF wheel.

    Re: 997TT Bicolor Black/Sand Pic

    At first I thought the PCM cover looked crap like in that colour buyt after looking a bit more it actually looks quite classy i think.

    SO TRUE !! Exactly my thoughts
    Now he should get his seat backs painted, to loose that Volcano Grey/Titanium Grey all together
