Nice we all have choices, and that we determine our own…. Sometimes being the only one to make our choice is the best and smartest decision of all.

Little confused that if one gets the carbon fiber inlay on the doors (at least for the Turbo model), it is called, “Interior Trim in Matte Carbon Fiber with Neodyme Accents,” whereas if one choose the CF inlays for the steering wheel it is called, “Heated GT Sport Steering Wheels with Carbon Fiber Inlays,” i.e. are the two CF options (so close to each other on the driver side) different in appearance one with Neodyme accents and one without?

There are 2 interior trim options:
- "Interior Trim in Carbon Fiber"
- "Interior Trim in Matte Carbon Fiber with Neodyme Accents"

On the Turbo, I believe the carbon fiber (without Neodyme) is standard, which is why you don't see it as an option in the configurator.

I think I’ll get the Race-tex wheel, saw and felt one in a Cayenne and it’s so much nicer.

I can handle a bit of looking after it and besides, it will be a leased car.

Thanks dreige. On the turbo if one wants as much CF interior as possible, one needs to consider whether having two different visually appearing ones is what is wanted or not.

Anyone have a picture with the two different CF colors to share please?
