I was just calling Porsche to see whether "Steering Column Casing in Leather: XNS" comes with platinum grey stitching like the example picture on the configuration page. I've been getting conflicting answers from the dealers and it would be a great help if you can shed some light. Otherwise, I'm just gonna take it off since I really don't wanna pay $3500 to get Interior trim package with decorative stitching and embroidery in deviated thread... That would be horrible.
Please let me know what color of stitching it comes with on the steering column casing if you guys have it on your babies.~

as I recall my build $1400 deviated stitching cost on full leather build for red thread and steering column in leather was $550 which got the red thread if specifying silver thread the whole package is silver , but to be sure consult your SA part of his deal in your build .
Unless you pay for the leather upgrade I do not believe you can check this box. The standard is just Plastic. I like this upgrade if you checked the leather box but really all of this means nothing because it is all about the engine/transmission-this combo dominates the experience irrelevant of transmission selected

Right. I'm getting Leather/Alcantara® Interior Package in Black with Platinum Grey Stitching and I was hoping the steering column comes with the same platinum grey stitching.

i have the interior trim package and the steering column in leather with platinum stitching.....and it is one of those options that was a must in my build. It looks amazing and i knew i wanted this option when i had my 997.2 GT3, which had the plastic.
The steering column in leather just completes the look.
One regret is that i didn't select the sun visors in alcantara...everything else im very happy with
Stock silver or the 1500 red, the steering column in leather gets matching stitching.
You have to order steering column in leather with deviated stitching if you want a leather column when you order the full ($3500) deviated stitching package.
You can order the order steering column in leather with deviated stitching if you want a leather column stitching to be different that the stock or upgraded stitching on the rest of the car. For example, if you want black thread to avoid a reflection.

If I may, did you also get extended dashboard in leather option? I'm still thinking about it and I feel it's overkill... I'm not too crazy about sun visors in alcantara, because I can always get them WITHOUT stickers @ suncoastparts.

Did you order Chrono? If so, get the extended leather option with contrasting stitching. Gives the interior a much richer look as it should for a car close to $200,000.

It's a tough choice because it's one of the most expensive option. Thank you for your suggestion! Btw, what do you think about mission tunnel in leather? I was thinking about getting it because I would support myself by leaning on it while turning. Does that make sense? Also, I have no idea what "mission tunnel" is according to the configuration page.

I didn't go for the extended dashboard option. The Leather interior package was enough of an upgrade for me.
The location in your picture is correct. The mission tunnel in leather is just another option that'll make your interior more luxurious. You can't go wrong. The car itself is absolutely amazing. The extra options are just bonuses. Wish you luck in narrowing down your spec.
