Any one have RS Interior other than black

I am thinking of changing over to an RS interior. My interior is a light gray with blue carpeting. I have only seen the RS panels and carpet in black. Does anyone have it in a different color? If so can you post pics I am curious to see how it looks in other colors.
Thanks

Black is boring, do it any way you want.

Have you ever seen the sea green used in some 356s? Looks good with grey or black or white, i don't think purple or blue.

Camera flash makes the seats look a lot lighter than they are in person. The radio has been deleted since this pic was taken.

The Appbiz RS door panels were recovered by the upholstery shop that did the seats, which were also originally black. I'm not happy with the way they turned out and will eventually have them redone at a different shop with blue/black houndstooth inserts.

The blue lightweight RS carpet is also from Appbiz and is very nice.

Thanks Jack that is the color of the carpet I want to use. Did you get the door panels from appbiz also? Why are you not happy with the coverings?

Hi, Mike,

Yes, the door panels came from Appbiz as well and they are fine. They were originally black but the shop that did the seats recovered them to match the seat vinyl.

My unhappiness is with the upholstery shop I chose. I had used them a few years prior for some interior work on a different car (not a Porsche) and was satisfied with what they did. But the 911 seats just didn't come out as good as I hoped. The material that was chosen looked fine as a sample swatch but turned out not to be anywhere near Porsche quality. In retrospect I wonder if what was chosen is what actually ended up on the seats and door panels.

I've since located a different upholstery shop who did some fantastic work for me on another project, so I'm going to have the seats and door panels redone using better materials and without the wrinkling that is present on the current seat bolsters. It will cost more than the current version but it will look a lot better...the old adage "you get what you pay for" seems to apply most of the time.

Here's a better picture of the carpet. Again, it's MUCH darker in person. When I redo the seats and door panels I'll delete the rear speaker shelf since the car no longer has a radio. I'll also install some Dynamat under the carpet this time which will tighten up the carpet and dampen a lot of road noise. I'm extremely pleased with everything that came from Appbiz and their service is great.

I used a black RS carpet, but used black watch tartan for my interior panels. In the end, I decided to keep my map pockets.

Glad to see that there are people using other RS colors. I want to keep the factory colors because I like the combo but want to upgrade the interior with the RS look. Thanks for the replies
