What is the difference between the microfiber and alcantara inserts?

Thanks for the input everyone. Just to clarify, the interior is all black with orange stitching and belts. No orange inserts on the seats. Strictly there for accent.

I currently have the Alcantara steering wheel on my GT3 and love it, but I'm concerned about the long term aesthetics of it after years of use.

I agree with Mr Sullivan.... Tie in the PCCBs by selecting yellow accents. With yellow stitching now available (see the PTS thread with the first birch car) that is what I would select. The yellow/black combo is stunning!

Orange, never mind yellow belts impossible to keep clean on track days.

No LO inserts, keep it all black with yellow stitching/pulls and black LED's. Alcantara wheel for the RS also.

+1

I'd choose Alcantara wheel. (No specific reason more than it is more racing.)

For reference, This is my steering wheel from my 997.1 GT3. About 50.000 miles, never cleaned:

Congrats on the allocation. Remember that less is more when it comes to options...just ask Mooty.

I think the orange stitching and belts look great.

Agree that the orange stitching looks great, just not with a white pccb car

Lol at this.

I'm not sure but make sure you see it before you order it. You gotta live that interior for a while.

Locked in the order today. Went with the LED's, Alcantara wheel, and the black full leather with orange stitching and belts.

I currently have a white gt3 with PCCB's with red stitching and belts and it looks great. Doesn't clash with the PCCB yellows at all IMO, so I went with the orange stitching and belts.

Now the wait begins. Again! lol. Jan/Feb build..... Need to start looking to sell my gt3 now.

Agree. I had yellow stitching and belts on my 997tt and it was hard to keep clean.
