The light tan leather interior is also... an interesting combination you won't find elsewhere

If you like it, go for it. I think it would look great. Kind of a Denver bronco theme. For me, lizard green would be my choice of deviated stitching with shark blue and then I would paint the calipers to match.

Its funny and odd at the same time as the GT4 and Spyder are at the top of the range yet very limited in what you can actually configure. Hence why I'm struggling and also wanting to do something different. Interesting you mentioned lizard green as that with Crayon paint was my second choice...

Thanks for the input.

I am clearly not as bold as you. I love shark blue and my heart wants to go that way with my build but my head is saying Chalk. (Or even something more boring). I think it’s really hard for others to give opinions on something they have never seen before. We all hope you go for it so we will get to see it in real life. So no one is going to try and talk you out of it. All I can say is I am too conservative to make that choice for myself. I am considering white with Speed Blue stitching but only if I can get confirmation on the Shark blue seat belts. My lock is October 1 so I am afraid I may be too early.

Me personally, I don't think I would like it. But if you like it, go for it...that is all that matters. I went with yellow stitching....and thought that was pretty bold. I also almost completely chickened out on Shark Blue. My backup was Chalk or Silver. I will just say drive around and take note of all of the cars around you....every color is BLAH! So that is another reason for SB. Anyway, the orange stitching would be a gamble IMO.

I think it could work, but I'd want to get orange belts and door pulls to tie it together.

I'm planning on doing yellow stitching/belts with shark blue exterior and black callipers. I really wish you could get silver brakes like the motorsport cars.

Found a pic of what I believe is Orange. It's on a Panamera and Lava isn't offered. I'm liking it more and more.

Orange works well with blue. When in doubt, you could always consult a color wheel to determine complementary colors.

It’s not interior stitching but I’ve done blue with orange calipers on my old GTS and I think it turned out well:

That is damn near Shark blue as well. Although it is an AMG GT-S….and not a GTS as we know it in Porsche speak. I have always said the AMG GT is one of the most beautiful cars out there. Now I will put the Spyder up with it. Very nice car!!
