Poll for Owners with Natural Dipped Interior
I've had conversations now with a couple of C8 owners who have the Natural Dipped Interior and have been asked by several others with orders what I think about possible glare and care concerns. Since I don't own this interior myself, I'm interested in knowing what actual owners think about the Natural Dipped related to these two possible concerns. Thanks for you input!

I swapped out for Black floor mats and that resolved my windshield glare issue.....

I can't vote because I don't have my Natural Dipped C8 yet. But I did have an early Kalahari C7.
With regards to the "glare", it really should be called reflections. Glare is a different problem.
Either way, polarized sunglasses really help with both glare and reflections. If you don't believe it, borrow or try a pair. If held vertically the reflections are still there but darker. But when looked through horizontally (the way you wear them) the reflections are significantly reduced.

I think the lower half in black would look awesome. I think it's a great color. To me it shows the lines much softer in the interior vs just black.
And that color with Red exterior is beautiful.

I concur... just takes the perceived quality and richness to another level making an already special car that much more special IMO. Definitely not convenient as far as maintaining it and the reflection issues... but even with that said I think it’s worth it if it’s not a daily driver. It’s gorgeous.
Plus it reminds me of a baseball glove

My plan is a torch red Z06 HTC, outfitted with carbon flash accents and wheels for that aggressive track look combined with a natural dipped interior with carbon fiber accents and suede. I personally like the suede in the natural dipped, adds a bit of sporty to a very luxurious interior. Might add red seat belts for added sportiness and to match the exterior.

Thanks for the responses!

FYI, when Porsche offered all-beige interiors, if you ordered one, you had to sign a waiver that you understood and accepted the risk that reflections would interfere with visibility while driving. Currently, the lighter colored interiors Porsche offers do NOT make the dash and deck above the dash the same light color, they are two-toned to avoid reflections.
