I love red interior and it is an option. Mine is a 2000S with red leather interior with matching steering wheel and red hand painted gauges also with a TIP. Love it. Check it out.

Hey man congrats an a beautiful car. I bought mine used and picked based on condition, as a result I ended up with my first white car, glacier white. All these years later, it has grown on me, enjoy the unit, the red is unique.
Looks like a nice find...my friend recently sold a 996 Aero silver/red interior when he purchased his 997 CS Aero. I've found the red goes a long way and gets balanced nicely when you substitute black floor mats for the red ones. I have beige interior on my Box and the beige mats were too much for me (though they were like new) and did the same substitution.
