Two tone black and beige?

The dealer is trying to sell me a meteor gray 2010 911S cabrio with two tone black and beige interior. I will be able to see it on Saturday and I can't find any pictures on the net. Although I am not too keen on the interior colour (eventhough the exterior meteor gray is very nice), I was wondering what you guys think about this combination and if you have any pictures of this two tone combination.

Thanks!

Yes the dashboard should look the same, but the seats in a 911 will be all beige.

It looks absolutely awful in person - don't do it.

I agree with the ugly scotsman.

2 tone is more often than not a bad idea, especially if you don't spec it yourself.

Go for a nice simple black or even better all white!

A meteor car with beige/black interior... I don't think so! Meteor is a lovely color but this interior scheme will look so out of place. Was this a cancelled order or did the dealer spec it? Whoever it was, just trashed a perfectly nice car.

I had a Seal Grey 997 C4S with a 2 tone grey/black interior and it looked good. So I wouldn't say that all 2 tones look bad.

I agree that not all two tones are ugly. Black and grey is nice and I saw a meteor gray with black and terracotta inside which looked very nice. I will try to post pictures tomorrow Saturday after I see the car to get your opinion. BTW the dealer is giving me a 14% of the MSRP on this 2010 car, which I think is very appealing.

I will also let you know what is the list of options.

I had a car with beige interior, the dashboard reflection on windshield was annoying. Next car I took a dark color ... So beige interior with dark top of dashboard seems to be a good solution.
