Decorative stitching on extended interior package dashboard trim in leather
I have just collected my gt3 and have chosen the acid green as the decorative stitching colour choice but I just found that the stitching colour on the parts of extended interior package dashboard trim in leather is platinum grey, can anyone please tell me is this normal or it is suppose in acid green stitching as well?
That can’t be right. Maybe because it’s a special special stitching color? I have my GT3T coming in a few weeks. I ordered this option too but have red stitching. Hopefully it all matches...
I asked the SA about this last week because the configurator didn't show yellow stitching on the vents, clock or by the windshield. He told me it was a configurator problem. Looks like I will be sending him a link to this post and making sure it doesn't happen to me. Or if they won't do it all in a color like yellow, I'll go back to regular stitching I guess.
You would think this would be common sense and they would make all the stitching match in the entire car.....
When you select this option, the stitching will be platinum (as shown) if no notes are made.
When the option is selected, a box appears next to the information icon on the far right side. The newly appeared icon/box looks like a notepad. If you want this stitching to be deviated, the dealer must write a note in that box. When a note is written by the dealer in that box, it triggers the car to v110 status, otherwise known as "text handling required." PAG will confirm the note which has been written is viable, and copy that message on their end. When the message has been copied, the car will go back to v200.
You are not able to make these notes. The dealer and PCNA make these notes in PVMS when the car is being ordered and it must be done before the configuration locks.
It is also important to note, if you've chosen leather to sample, you MUST click this "extended leather" option on the dash. If you do not select it, these plastic pieces will arrive as black and look completely out of place against your "leather to sample" option.
I hope this helps explain how it works from the internal side.
It does bother me too..I wouldn't take this option if I knew the stitching colour will not be same but I have been told from the dealership the stitching will be in same acid green before confirming my options.

I have been thinking of that too because of it is a custom colour choice of decorative stitching, that's why I want to see if anyone knows about this here.
Hope yours will be ok, I think the red stitching will be matched.

Thanks for the information Chicago Whale, sounds like my dealership has missed to do the part about write a note in that box.

Yes, better to contact your SA to avoid this.
"You would think this would be common sense and they would make all the stitching match in the entire car....." Exactly what I think..
"Looks like the stitching on the leading edge of the windshield in contrasting color is a CXX option (unless you do lizard green interior package then all stitching is lizard green)
Exclusive does not have CXX available on GT3RS at the moment, so in this case it will be platinum grey. Let me know how you want to adjust the build."
So I guess I change to Green or go back to standard stitching at this point unless something changes a long the way. Green won't look right with my PTS color, so probably back to silver/standard stitching.

May I ask what is the CXX option? And I would suggest you double confrim with your SA, as I know Porsche does do the yellow stitching on extended leather trim on the 991.1 gt3rs but not sure on the .2, here is the pic I found on rennlist:
