There’s two options. One is under stitching or whatever at the very top of the configurator. The other is where @Westcoast shows in his pic. The top option ($670) is if you didn’t do extended leather with stitching and just wanted some stitching on the steering column .

In my case I already had selected leather with yellow deviated stitching and just want the steering column added, in the end only a little bit more dollars ($540)

Be careful about the stitching on the steering column casing with leather. I was going to order it but it was mentioned here the stitching can reflect quite annoyingly onto the dash gauges.
I saw video of it (I think Janko?) and it is definitely noticeable. So I took it off.
I have folding mirrors and never use it. Potential good thing about it is the lights underneath that you can turn on when you unlock the car, at least in the 991. I assume will be the same in 718.
I picked 2 zone because I found the standard controls looks a bit ‘cheap’ to my eyes.
Dimming for night driving for me. Don’t care for wiper function.
YMMV.

I was however warned away from the deviated stitching on the extended dash leather on the defroster vents as this was visible. This is what I believe Janko was referring to, on the weekend a GT3 RS owner pointed it out on his car , said I was lucky I didn't add it there.

Yeah this looks like what I noticed recently in the configurator. $700 CAD is about $610 USD, right? So I guess what I’m asking is, if you order the Leather Interior with colored stitching and you order the steering column casing in leather, does the stitching extend to that or you have to add stitching too?
Here is is from the US configurator and using the Spyder as an example.
If you order the option for leather and a colored stitching from here, example yellow:
Then you got to Interior Leather and chose this option you will get yellow deviated stitching on smooth leather:
steering column in leather with contrasted stitching
At the end of the configurator you can confirm in the summary of options and you will see option code XNS

The price depends on what you are building a Spyder, GT4 or GTS 4.0, what are you building?

I know that the images are no guarantee, but you can see it add the colored deviated stitching when you select that option. Set the configurator to this image, check and uncheck the box, you can see it add the colored stitching. Remember to check for the XNS option listed on the summary page.
See the effect of adding this option when you have already selected a leather interior with a colored stitching
Canadian version, mentions decorative stitching...
US version does not mention anything about the stitching...

Okay I’m following you now. It does say XNS on the Options Summary page. I’m glad we worked this out and can maybe help others in the future, even if it’s seemingly insignificant. Much appreciated!

Agree with the alcantara sun visors; it was an option I checked off once I confirmed that everything from the a-pillar up is alcantara in the car with the exception of the rear view mirror assembly and these visors.
I'll have to confirm once I pick up my car hopefully later this week, but I don't believe they're easy to peel stickers like on other cars; I'm not sure they're removable TBH. If you wanted them without the airbag warning on it, I think you have to order them through parts and get the European version. I could be wrong though.

The pics that I saw looks like it is fabric on the A pillar.
Can owners of Spyder please confirm?
Thanks.
