Being November in Vancouver, I guess a bit of rain is unavoidable. Thanks for sharing. Getting much attention on the road?

Woops.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to post these pictures, I can live with the green strip on the screen. I note you have the matt carbon on the screen, but what looks like gloss carbon on the door cards and dash?

I did think about having green stitch on the dash top, but I understand that there is actually no stitching on the dash ?

On the hand books, it may be across the range I have just had new 4.2 Cayenne, and GT3 CS, both book packs are awaited.....

Interior of my car is shiny normal carbon. I had ordered the anti-reflective package and that change the dash piece, and the 2 top pieces on the doors to matte carbon, I added back the acid green trim to the dash piece via CXX.

And yes you are correct, there are no stitching spots for the dash, the only place inside with stitching that you can change is on the steering wheel as the seats uses piping instead of stitching.

Finally you have the car. Congratulations Whoopsy!

I think I spot a red flag on your dashboard... which error message did you have to acknowledge?

My car is still at the wrap place, took a couple days off wrapping so the car can be updated with the latest firmware. It was a big update that includes pretty much every system in the car. Had to be done cause the only tech trained will be going on vacation Saturday.

Good thing my other car arrived, at least I got something to drive. Fresh off transport. And no, not the GT3, that is my friend's car which came on the same transport.

I had to look it up, here's the reply from PCNA

"...can also complement the green steering wheel stitching with green stitching on the sunvisors. The price either way is $1400 USD MSRP, so I would recommend adding in the sunvisor stitching, as well."

****, now you have something I don't have on the car.

Take some pictures of the part when it arrives, maybe I will contact Connie to get a pair made.
