Default Silver or Yellow stitching with PCCBs

I'm thinking of adding PCCBs to my build, currently black with silver stitching. I like the silver stitching better than the red but the yellow looks nice too and would work with yellow brake calipers but i wonder if I'd get tired of yellow stitching. Silver just looks so natural and classy and it also matches the hideous Spyder logo on the flaps

Beautiful just beautiful. Congrats.

Yeah it helps burn a 7200 hole in my pocket. Did you spec the car that way or did you buy it from the floor and more pics please when you get a chance.

The more I see the color options the more I'm sure of Black

Of the colors I considered
Gt Silver is classy, elegant and historic
Red and Yellow are sporty, fun and really attract attention

But black is classy, sporty and sexy all at the same time and I love how the various black trim pieces dissolve into the overall lines of the car. I think some people mistake this for a loss of depth. I actually think the depth of the primary lines are more prominent on a black car as everything looks less busy.

My wife has asked that you please stop posting pictures of gorgeous black Spyders so that our kids are able to attend a decent college.

I did Silver... The yellows between the PCCBs and Stitching/Belts do not match. One is Signal Yellow (more orange) and the other is Racing Yellow (Brighter Yellow). Porsche Exclusive even warned me about it when I was consulting with them on my build.

Default Me too . . .

i did silver with PCCBs because I figured I'd get tired of the yellow stitching and I do plan on keeping the car a long, long time. And as mentioned it matches the silver Spyder logo on the flaps. . . . . . more or less :-)

Ironically, I had configured a GT silver and was planning on submitting it for a January build when this car arrived on the lot. It had me at Hello...I agree the yellow may be slightly different but not much IMHO. I've always had black cars so I was easily swayed.

Lol I hear that. I probably would've done the same. While I really want LWBS, that build probably would have swayed me too. Immediate gratification is powerful thing. Great pics.
