Default 2lt Brown Interior Thread

Hey fellas, I am looking to get into a C8 and I am really keen on a blue exterior and a brown interior.

I'm thinking of going with the natural napa leather with microfiber inserts on comp seats but there aren't too many pictures online up close of the brown comp seats.

Do you owners prefer the full leather seat or the micro fiber insert?

I am kind of leaning towards the latter, initially I didn't want to deal with the steering wheel that comes with it but after I saw how easy it was to take care of with the right products, I kind of want it now.

Any pics appreciated!

I have seen this combo several times and I believe it looks good. The some owners that have the micro-fiber trim seem to be on the fence as to whether they would order it again due to the maintenance to keep it looking good.

I spec'd a 2LT in Rapid Blue over natural tan competition seats in napa with microfiber inserts. Also got the tension blue belts to tie it together. Very "French' as it is similar to the traditional Blue de France traditional racing color. Great combo that always gets comments both very positive and kind of 'whoa, that's A LOT'. I like the natural as it does not get too hot, especially the microfiber.

Personally I would just say NO to brown.

I never thought of Natural as being brown- at all. Why does most manufacturer's brown interior color look like something shot from Luka Doncic's hands?
