Would it be risky to have Python interior trim right next to Lizard stitching? Maybe leather interior trim would be better to avoid this risk? Then again, the door stitching is right next to the exterior in a convertible so can't avoid that.
One is lighter and the other darker.....IMO the Mamba green stitching will get lost on the black leather/alcantara. I went ahead with Lizard Green Stitching but I did add the LG seatbelts.....guess if they don't work I could swap them for black ones.
Also, keep in mind those door pulls will come in grey not lizard or black if you choose the deviated stitching so you may have to upgrade those later on. If the seat belts work I will order the door pulls in lizard green, those are available aftermarket.

Good point on Mamba. Doing a Boxster GTS 4.0 here, so no door pulls.

SO here's a funny thing...Porsche Design is allowing you to customize one of their watches down to colors and even stitching....and on the watch guess which stitching is available? Python Green!!!! Why can't they offer this on the cars!!!!!

Here's the link if you want to design a watch to go with your car: https://porsche-design.crealis.de/co...ature=Preis-US

Stunning! My GT4 is currently scheduled to be built next Friday. Sadly, it will sit in ports for about 2 months before me receiving it, but I'm really hoping that we start seeing some more pics soon in Python!!

Just beautiful, goes well with platinum wheels, and red calipers don't seem to be a problem. Most good pics of Python are in the shade, while the few iffy ones are all in the sun.

Still, at least on what I'm seeing on my side, this is lighter compared to the sample I saw at the dealer.

I wouldn't mind if it was darker than that pic either.

My car is officially alive. Born on 9/16. Now for the agonizing 2 1/2 month wait until we can actually get it! :-(

Some nice angles of Python under overcast skies in this video. I like it...

Yes, PG with Aurum. Can't wait to see it either!

Next up is figuring out which ship it's on and tracking that.

My order is scheduled to lock in a week or so. I'm trying to decide which wheels look better on the car, the Satin Platinum or Satin black. What are your thoughts?
