I would say the last is pretty representative too.

It helped me pick up the blue-ish tint that isn’t present in the configurator pics imo. I think I had the 991/981 (last new cars I’ve spec’d) slightly more neutral grey stitching and insert color palette in my head. It’s a blue grey. So I’ll go back and re-think my overall color scheme and/or pay 3k for dev stitch.

With the deviated stitching, the seat inserts go black

However, I’m cognizant of that being one of the biggest wastes of money ever as far as options (imo)! 3k for a slightly diff grey or black; you gotta really not like the default stitch.
I saw a GT4 RS up close today and it had Arctic stitching, really thought it was blue until owner confirmed the color. So while it may seem like a waste, if you really don’t want a blue hue in it, you’ll have to go deviated.

Afaik the seat centers are either Arctic Grey or Deep Sea Blue. But you can go aftermarket as well, might be cheaper than CXX

Is the SRS supposed to make this horrifying sound hitting the rev limiter? (10:20)

It's much louder in a 4rs.

That noise is just bouncing off the rev limiter and its normal. I feel like my 4rs slurred the shifts near the limiter compared to my 992 gt3 pdk. They feel like different boxes altogether and the 4rs gearbox feels a bit faster below redline and on downshifts. However the redline behavior on the gt3 is more crisp. The intakes on the 4rs let you hear the shift behavior more clearly

Sorry, I’m out right now and can’t dig in to this. But the stitching is definitely blue-ish and fairly dark. You’ll see the matching Arctic Grey seat centers on the bucket seats on many cars with the Arctic Grey stitching. Very blue-ish.
This recently auctioned BAT GT4RS has Arctic Grey stitch...lots of pictures.

What are you guys seeing out there for ADM/adjustment? My local dealer has offered an allocation (July build).
