997 Turbo S interior advice needed

When I ordered my car I opted for yellow stitching but did not want to do the console/ PDK surround in leather/stitching as I thought 1) too much Yellow 2) that area which is "high traffic" in leather was not great
and this is my daily driver.

Step 1: to improve the looks a bit I ordered the Turbo S compartment lid in leather and this matches the handbrake nicely.

Step 2 which is in process but I want opinions on: I ordered the Carbon Console & Door sills (to pick up the accent), what are your thoughts? stay stock? or do this? the Grey Carbon will match up the brake and console lid nicely. (NOT Installed yet)

I can't tell, but is there any CF in the cabin?

If so, get the cf. If not, don't. It will look like someone messed up when speccing the car.

Cabin has no CF bits anywhere...figured the console couldn't hurt...and match w door sills to pick it up...but where you are heading is my initial thought... Maybe I should order the console in full leather? This way the grey stich on the brake lever and console lid will match? I dont want so much going on inside the car thats my issue

You are also right on painting it yellow, it would be too much.

The nice thing about leaving it alone is it matches all the other silver trim in the car.

Yup paint or even if I had brought the Yellow stitching down to the PDK surround...and along the console....for an F Car yes but nor for a P car.

This is why I did not opt for console and PDK in leather/stich...its WAY too much for my taste

I would probably leave it as is...though I really like the turbo s armrest...I may have to look into that. Btw, one of my buddies put the GTS side skirts on his 997.2 turbo and it looks awesome...I think Im going to be doing that too.

Turbo S armrest cover is a really nice touch I got it from Sun Coast, takes 5 mins to install.
