I know that if you pay the upcharge for the diviated stitching you get the headrests, the steering wheel, and the shifter stitched in the color of your choice. I'm unsure about the headrests if you have the base stitching.

Pretty sure if you don't opt for an interior that has deviated stitching the logo in the headrest and on the other parts of the car default to the black, deviated can also include the standard interior options of read/silver/yellow.

The door pulls are also in the color of the stitching.

Only for the “standard” R/Y/Silver stitching options. If you do the Extended Deviated stitching option, the pull straps are black.

Exactly. I went with blue stitching and had to install my own.

Your SB looks so different than others.
Do you apply any filters? What camera are you using?
I still didn't have a chance to see it in direct sunlight.

Nah, just a crappy Motorola phone camera and I took some pictures in portrait mode by mistake and it blurred the background but I thought it looked kinda cool so I kept going. I do have full PPF so I don't know if that somehow refracts the light to the camera. Here it is on the lot prior to PDI and delivery.

this color simply demands blue stitching

Beautiful car! I specced my GT4 similar with the blue extended deviated stitching.

I'm surprised that shark blue door pulls aren't an option on the configurator considering they exist on the 4RS (and 99% sure it's the exact same part).
Not really a big deal but would've been nice to have them installed from factory.

Almost certainly will go with a similar build. I also like the red fire extinguisher to match the red calipers. Still trying to decide on wheels color, close between platinum and simply silver

I went yellow for a little more contrast. Belts and gauges and calipers as well. Might seem too “yellowy” butit works really well!!

Interesting that they didn't stitch the steering wheel and shift boot in yellow.
