Default Yellow deviated stitching in PDX?

My order is about to lock and suddenly I'm thinking about yellow deviated stitching for my Spyder. GT Silver car, black wheels, PCCB, LWBS. I have to admit I'm really nervous about ticking that box without seeing it in person. Anyone near PDX have a car (any P car) with yellow deviated stitching they'd be willing to show me?

Pretty good rendition of the black with yellow stitching on the configurator. Here's how I set mine up.

Thx OC. I have fiddled with the configurator. My experience is things just look different IRL. For example, the silver stitching stands out (to me, anyway) more in the configurator than it does sitting in the car.

My wife liked the yellow stitching in the configurator, so that's a start...

I have seen it in person and my take away is that it looks very close to the depiction in the configurator. Obviously your mileage may vary.

I took these at San Clemente cars and coffee a few weeks ago of a fellow Rennlister’s Spyder.

To the OP, the photos provided also 'match' what my eyes have seen IRL.

For your car, one consideration to 'punch or mute' the yellow will be your choice of trim (in addition to the extent in which you order the leather and extended stitching). The standard brushed aluminum trim may be your best bet for balance; but do play with the black leather and aluminum options as well as doing painted interior trim.

Enjoy the deliberation.

...and BIG WOW on the photos from @TXshaggy and @SpyderSenseOC

The yellow stitching pops in person in a way that photos don’t reflect. It would look amazing with GT Silver. I have GT Silver with red stitching, which also looks good, but it isn’t as vibrant as the yellow.

With the red stitching, eventually, you’ll open the door and not notice the stitching. With the yellow, I think it will always catch your eye.

How did you get that yellow notch in your steering wheel? I didn’t think that was an option on a spyder

If you mean the 12 o'clock marker it is just Racing Yellow vinyl...I could not get it as an OEM option. I am not a fan of mousefur and thought about doing away with it all inside via CXX but it was not worth the money to do so, and now I actually like having some of it inside.

I personally love the way yellow looks in photos but know I would get tired of it IRL. It is just one of those colors that to me look good in limited usage. I think it shows amazingly in photos though.

I wondered the same, just as I did when I ordered my previous car P-car in Miami Blue; however, I still love both colors and have no regrets, and I actually like the Yellow more than I thought I would. However, there are probably more people like you since Yellow is the least selected color.

Maybe Grand Prix has a car with yellow stitch you can see in person.
