Very nice @smegman ! Love the Speed Blue stitching. This may be the first set of photos where I've seen more than like one of 2 photos of the Speed Blue stitching and it looks awesome! Interesting as it looks like you picked the leather steering wheel and it has Speed Blue stitching. Was that a CXX option or did it come like that?
Also, I can't 100% confirm but it looks like you also got the setbacks in leather too, correct? Would you mind showing the deviated stitching on the seatbacks if so?
One other thing I will add (not to knock you but instead directed to PAG) is that when you select any of the upcharge/extended deviated stitching options, the door strap is gt silver and not matched to the upcharge deviated stitching color or at least kept in black. I find it odd that they automatically change it to silver which doesn't match any of the stitching. I think if they kept it black, it would flow more with the black theme interior rather than have a black theme interior, your choice of upgraded deviated stitching and then a silver door strap.

I went with the 18 ways, carbon fiber, and leather steering wheel too, but differ from you by going with Platinum wheels and yellow PCCBs. But your car looks fantastic with the black on black!

I went with yellow stitching and a Spyder. Other than that, a very similar spec. Are you going to keep the calipers black?

Aw. I was hoping to be the first to post interior shots with Speed Blue stitching... but thanks for the nice preview!

One other thing I will add (not to knock you but instead directed to PAG) is that when you select any of the uncharge deviated stitching options, the door strap is gt silver and not matched to the upcharge deviated stitching color or at least kept in black. I find it odd that they automatically change it to silver which doesn't match any of the stitching. I think if they kept it black, it would flow more with the black theme interior rather than have a black theme interior, your choice of upgraded deviated stitching and then a silver door strap.

smegman, Great looking car. Curious if you went with the extended leather on the dash. If you did would you mind posting photos of the stitching?
Thanks
Thanks
My ship has made it out of the English Channel and is now estimated to be less than 9 days out of Baltimore and then maybe another 6 or 7 to Houston. I'm surprised how time seems to be getting slower the closer it gets!

I'm thinking that's going to look really sharp with all leather (I'm assuming you meant the trim in leather) ! I've never had a car with carbon fiber before... so dammit... I wanted to have some carbon fiber at least once in a car!

I did carbon fiber trim, gear shift, and door sills. I did the same on the 992 but it was matte - hardly noticeable. So I am looking forward to these larger, shinier pieces.

When I try to set the deviated stitching the configurator deletes the Race-tex seat inserts. How were you able to include them in your build?

I don't believe I got the extended dash stitching, the stitching stops right above the gagues and the CF trim piece on the passenger side... I didn't deem it a worthy option as it would probably get trashed in the sun or reflect on the window
Here's the leather seat backs + the window sticker
I know its stupid but I just don't like the plastic seat backs

No, I took out the Race Tex so full leather. I did Sport Tex on the 992 and found out that I don’t like my seats that grippy. It makes it difficult to adjust your position on long trips and ingress/egress. I also missed the ventilation. This car will be driven on country roads and not on the track, but for track focused cars, Race and Sport Tex make sense.
I did carbon fiber trim, gear shift, and door sills. I did the same on the 992 but it was matte - hardly noticeable. So I am looking forward to these larger, shinier pieces.
