You bet -- I'm out of town but will post one next week. I'll do my best to get a shot that captures the discoloration. I have a gray interior, and you can see that the roll bar padding has turned into a color with a hint of brown in it. It's obvious when you see it compared to the seats, which should be the same color. The seats have not discolored.

I've got the exact problem with my gray interior '03. Did you ever come up with a solution?

When I had my Boxster, I had the same issue on my Savannah Beige rollbar trim. I think it showed better on the Beige than other colors. It cleaned right up with a vinyl cleaner, but would reappear in a month or two.

My 'Aha' moment came after I cleaned it one weekend where I also replaced the Brake Pads. One week after cleaning it, it was dirtier than it had ever been.

The aerodynamics were pulling Brake Dust through the rollbar. Front? Rear? Take your pick.

I swapped the oem pads for some low-dust ones and problem disappeared.

Cheers!
