Nice!!! Love the PCCB's, Leather Seat Backs and the Painted PCM!!!
Do you notice the difference in the shade of Yellows between the Calipers, Stitching and Belts? The Stitching and Belts are a brighter yellow... correct???
The Leather Seat Backs are a must for the Sofas on the Spyder... The standard silver grey color is so out of place from the rest of the car.

You're perfectly right on the different yellows. The calipers of the PCCB are "speed yellow" while the new interior color matches the new yellow paint and is "racing yellow".
No clue why Porsche didn't switch the caliper color simultaneously.
They had the speed yellow calipers in the program for quite some time and it matched the interior, as well as the yellow paint that came as standard color.
Now it's speed yellow for the calipers but they switched to racing yellow for paint and interior color. Just strange.
For me a good enough reason NOT to take the yellow stitching and yellow interior as they don't match the PCCB calipers on the outside.
I also agree with you on the silver grey color for the seat backs. Can't be found nowhere else in the car and especially in an open car it can't be tolerated. Looks horrible, a relict of past design that goes back to 997 seats from 2005.
On the other hand it could be clever Mktg. as every design sensible customer will order the leather backs = Money in the bin for Porsche.
Cheers Tom

getting the seatbacks painted yellow aftermarket shouldn't be hard... that is a somewhat "historical"porsche thing to do and would be much more unique (and maybe cheaper) than the leather seatbacks.
This a picture of one of Rudy's many cars...painted seats are simply sublime with the matching wheels.

Not for me.
Sorry I have to disagree. Even from here, looking at the picture you sent (beautiful car by the way) I can see the difference and I wouldn't allow myself that configuration.
But tastes are different. If you like it - go for it.

Personally being a designer, details are a big deal... especially color matching.
The Porsche Exclusive department knew my background and also suggested against the yellows as they knew it would bug me.
But I also realize everyone isn't a designer like me. :thumbs:

Have the calipers repainted racing yellow if it bugs you!
