At the end of the day it comes down to how well your SA has communicated and detailed the build in the system. My issue is I didn’t do what you did and pester. I probably should have. I lost my PTS slot due to stop sale and had to quickly re-spec the car with my backup color. At that point I just let it be and never asked. Rightfully so, I just assumed it was ok.

Thank you sir! On its own it looks fine but when i put up a photo of what it should look like next to it my brain immediately reverts to my original order.

I have my build sheet snd honestly I already know where the mistake happened. My SA forgot to add lava stitching to the notes field on the CXX vent option. I just didn’t want to come out saying that. Mistakes happen but it’s a big dealership and they should have known better. Porsche has pretty much told them go pound sand but I’m hopefully the dealer will fix it and they’ve already shared with me their plan. But the system is just flawed. Seriously nobody from Porsche could have contacted the dealer and just confirmed “We see all stitching is lava but did you really mean to not order lava stitch on the leather vents?”. Especially when I’m sure this mistake happens more often than it needs to. I bet most cutomers just accept it and forget it.

I actually did speak to Frank @ Exclusiv Option before I even took delivery of the car as I was told about the issue in advance. Great guy btw. Net-net it’s $1800 with a core swap and they re-use my painted vents. No huge deal. I passed the info to my SA but I would prefer for obvious reasons it’s fixed through OE parts. Spend $200k on a car we should have some expectations

Exactly! I know you and I have had an offline discussion about that. They need to revamp the system and FORCE the SA to enter a choice for certain options just to make sure it’s not forgotten.

Good luck with the Speedster!

Thank you Erik. Yes I spec’d the sun visors in the build. I wasn’t aware there was a timing issue with Touring so I guess I got lucky there. The alcantara visors are one of those things that you don’t really appreciate until you have them. My GTS doesn’t have them and now it’s annoying when I look at them against the alcantara headliner. Again I blame my OCD (drives my wife crazy). But like you said they’re an easy swap and you can probably get the Euro versions and avoid getting the ugly airbag stickers at the same time.

I plan on Alcatara visors as well no stickers $1200 we should have put together a RL buying group for a reasonable discount ... oh well cheers

I removed the stickers from Alcantara visors with isopropyl alcohol, no problem.

Any residue left?

No sticky residue, just a faint texture difference where the sticker was that I don’t notice in the car at all. Will snap a pic.

I’m sure it will get sorted out eventually. If anything comes out of this at least I can create some awareness and make sure others avoid running into the same problem.

Yes the white dials are actually much more sporty elegant and complementary than I expected!

You've got to reach out to the Porsxhe Exclusive team directly to handle. I worked with Thuy--she was great.
