I think that this is the case, Race-Tex and the stitching is deviated, go for leather and you get black stitching unless... there is a CXX option to have this done?

Oh and there are those that will say that the yellow stitching if applied to the forward part of the dash right at the windshield cause a nasty reflection in the glass, one reason I stayed away from this one.

People say all sorts of uninformed stuff on here.

I have the extended dash and steering column; both reflection no-nos from the peanut gallery.

Live in South Texas; lots of sun...never noticed either. 3500 miles and counting

Positioning the car and sun angle to produce a reflection is like aligning for a total eclipse.

Bob, my SA told me if I went multifunction leather there’d be no deviated.

In the end decided on alcantara w/ no controls.

However, when I posed the question on RL iirc folks responded with deviated leather wheels saying my SA was wrong.

I went PDK so unsure about manual boot

I don't have the stitching at the windshield but I do on the steering column cover and it is noticeable without seeking out a total eclipse... it is fair to say some people notice these things other do not, we appear to fall on opposite side of that divide.

Perhaps I don’t notice as when the car is in motion my vision focal length is at infinity looking through the drive line.

I have a large registration sticker on my windshield that I also don’t see.

Lots of years driving/flying w/huds so maybe not very sensitive to it.

Beautiful shot, surrealistic in a way... where is the ski rack?
