Anyone do the Pepita fabric (not red one) on a car with red stitching? I’m wondering how it will look.

i've never been to their shop and don't know them personally but i've seen they're work and it's great
I purchased red Pepita Inserts from rstrada earlier this year - great quality and perfect fit. Look and feel OEM.

Are they wool or are they the seatbelt like material of the 50th/R?

Would you mind posting a few photos comparing it to your exterior color, and also once it's installed? Do you know if the material is the classic wool, or modern synthetic?
As requested. The blue is a little more subtle than it appears in the photos. Hopefully, they go well with Aero Blue.

They are the same as the 911R material. The good part about the rstrada product is that it comes as a complete replacement - you just remove your Alcantara insert and place the Pepita one in.

Macduc,

Thanks for the kind word! Let me know when your other toys come in. We can go over some other options too for different look.

Thanks you for the hi-res photos!

If you had to venture a guess, do you think they'd go well with Maritime Blue too?

evilfij,

It is actually not the same material. We don't limit ourself on creativity, as long as the durability & quality meet our standards & requirements. There are lots of possibilities for the material vs color combination that fit the requirements. Besides inserts, We make our own bolster covers too. We can guarantee the fitment is the best than any other options out there.

Some of the project pics we are working on other than typical black & white:

The day Macduc's inserts shipped -


In the process matching Sapphire Blue -



Acid Green matching material -



Rubystone project. Our modern interpretation of classic Porsche Pasha -


CXX seat from Porsche that we are improving -



Notice the Acid Green stitching on special ordered matching blue leather from Porsche. While we have extra material, We made a matching shifter boot based on a CF 911R shifter -



For a PTS Nato Olive customer -

Will do! I have a T coming late this year / early next year and if I go with the LWB’s I might do either the yellow or the traditional.

And if I’m lucky enough to get an RS allocation I’ll swap out the GT3!

If anyone is thinking about the Pepita inserts, I can vouch for rstrada. They came from LA all the way to Australia perfect and everyone that see’s them asks how I managed to get them from the factory!

Even my factory owned dealership guys thought they were OEM! They are great!

Wearing blue jeans will see dye transfer on pepita/houndstooth seats, so I’m less enthusiastic than others with this option.

Locked mine in yesterday - went with LWB’s. it seems the majority of ordered cars are non LWB’s and all dealer ordered cars are non LWB’s as well (and no Manuals) at my dealer.

What colour did you go with? I went with GT Silver. I’ll swap out the seat inserts with Houndstooth when it arrives. I’m looking at a January delivery - what about you?
