While waiting for my car's TPMS to show up, I was fortunate enough to get the dealer to take it the car to my PPF/tint installer today so that is underway. At least now the TPMS and PPF wait are not sequential!

Before it moved over to the PPF shop, I took a few more snapshots of the interior with the Speed Blue deviated stitching. It is a perfect match for Shark Blue. It is a lot more subtle that yellow but I like it and hope it doesn't show dirt as quickly. I'm also including a photo of the car with the Miami Blue GT4 behind it for comparison. Maybe that is someone here! We had the nice view window up on the 6th floor of the dealership (as you may have seen in my post in another thread from the outside early this morning).

I didn't realize quite how much glare was in the photos until I got home, so I've tried to improve the contrast a bit to make the contrast less washed out and the colors a bit more accurate.The stitching on the steering wheel is also the same blue but it washed out in the photo and looks silver. To the eye it does not.

Same! Identical spec down to the leather steering column except mine is a Spyder and I too have the basic brakes.

Thanks for posting as this gives me a real life feel for the interior and now have zero concerns over my spec!

Oh, and congrats on your car. Stunning

FYI I just went to the dealership to change my build to shark blue and found out that shark blue seatbelts are ok backorder until December 6. So I had to order black belts.

Anyone know how much belts sure and can I install them myself?

Check them out on Suncoast Porsche, and as for install, yes a DYI depending on your abilities.

Whatever you do, don't get the Miami Blue like I did and hope they are close. They are not. It's really the only dumb thing I did on my order. When I had told my wife I thought I had made a mistake ordering them and might have to replace them, my wife scoffed. As soon as she saw the mismatch in real life at the dealer, without hesitation she said that yeah, I needed to fix that.

There's a seatbelt replacement company in Oklahoma called Seatbelt Planet that has a color that may be a match and will replace the webbing for $300 if I take care of the removal/installation. I've order a free swatch to see if it really is a match. If not, then I guess I'll be paying $1k for a set. I messaged Suncoast about when to expect availability of Shark Blue belts a couple of weeks ago and at the time they weren't familiar with the option coming.
