i'm really worried, looks like someone had put the steering wheel on the wrong side
But seriously, I have ever seen black script seat in a brown/tan interior, what are the colour of the back seats/rear cards? At first glance I'd say new seats and door cards |

That all looks stock with exception of the colors - most red 924s' came with a pure black interior...very strange color combo.

my question was regarding the colors. i wondered if it rolled off the boat this way or if someone has changed the carpet or door panels/seats
i just ordered black floor mats with the porsche script in a sand color to match the carpet. i hope it ends up looking good...
someday i hope to upgrade the seats to something with more suport and a two-tone look to match. _________________ 17in caymans, koni yellow coilovers, hypercoil springs, kla solid upper mounts, 968 sway bars, kla drop links, kla strut brace, fidanza flywheel, dansk catback, wilwood front calipers, ss brake lines, e-codes, 944 duckbill, manual rack,momo steering wheel |

What color is the dash, the a-pillar trim, headliner, etc.?
If those are all black, I say it was a either a custom ordered carpet / color combo, or the carpet has been replaced. If those are all brown, I say the door cards and seats are replacement items. _________________ erstwhile owner of just about every 924 variant ever made |

Everything is black but the carpet.
Is there any way to figure out if it was ordered this way or if it was changed out by a previous owner?
the carpet is the most worn of all the interior parts. This would lead me to think that it came this way stock, or someone has replaced everything but the carpet. _________________ 17in caymans, koni yellow coilovers, hypercoil springs, kla solid upper mounts, 968 sway bars, kla drop links, kla strut brace, fidanza flywheel, dansk catback, wilwood front calipers, ss brake lines, e-codes, 944 duckbill, manual rack,momo steering wheel |

Really sounds like it was just a custom order color scheme. This wouldn't be the first I've read of a Porsche (previous was a 944) coming with some custom options. _________________ 1988 924S Navy Blue - Phone Dials |

| Nope, not stock. Someone changed the seats or changed the carpet. |

My Signal Green 77 924 bought new had light tan colored seats and 2 tone door panels (brown plastic, light tan colored vinyl) and tan carpet. The dash was brown.
Concerning the car in question IMO, the seats and carpet are not original. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

thank you all for the responces.
After looking at pictures of modern Porsches on the internet I've decided to continue my plan with carrying the two-tone through the rest of the interior.
Stock or not, I think my end result will look good. It is sort of reliving a plan I had for my 325i may she rest in peace... _________________ 17in caymans, koni yellow coilovers, hypercoil springs, kla solid upper mounts, 968 sway bars, kla drop links, kla strut brace, fidanza flywheel, dansk catback, wilwood front calipers, ss brake lines, e-codes, 944 duckbill, manual rack,momo steering wheel |

| Just check your option codes. If you decode them, it'll tell you what color interior you have. |

May be it was black carpet in there and because it s not longer available (in europe) he put that tan-carpet in there?  _________________ NA 924 - april/1977- 4-speed-audi gearbox.
