Default Steering Column Casing in Leather XNS

Looking for a couple of pictures of the steering column in leather, preferably in the platinum stitching. Ideally a picture that shows the column in context of the rest of the interior and one close up showing the stitching detail.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

I do not have a picture but have seen it live. If your are going with the stitching I think it is a great addition. I went with it plus the dashboard and extended door panel(do not waste your money on the panel).

I'm going with the extended leather dash and column as well. Matthew Henry at Porsche Exclusive would not let me leave until I agreed. He says it really completes the interior.

There is a picture of one on post 127 of the "New Car Pics" thread. I ordered it on my build.

I wish I did not order the extended door panel and that I did order the extended dash and steering column.

As @JCBH told me in consolation--"You learned a good lesson for the next Porsche you order!" Wise words!

Default XNS and CZW

Ryan:

I recommend both of these options on a full leather interior:

1) Steering Column Casing in Leather (XNS)
2) Extended Interior Package, Dashboard Trim in Leather (CZW)

Here is a shot of mine - red stitching, however, but gives you a good idea of what you see from the driver's POV. When I get the car back, I can take more if you like.

It is a Turbo, not a GT3.

Correct. A 'PTS 'Viper Green' late MY2014 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. Current 'Porsche Exclusive' demo in West Coast to show many (if not most) possible 'Exclusive' options to customers & dealers...and with a mighty MSRP to match its impressive Monroney sticker!

Yeh!! - I figured if you are going to go with the stitching then go crazy. Did the same with the Carbon Fiber - did every option

I especially like the air vents in leather, which gives you red or platinum stitching over the air vents instead of the faux aluminum trim. Looks very custom and pretty. Can't find a pic and the 2015 configurator doesn't seem to show it when I click on this option (the 2015 also doesn't show the sport chrono clock anymore?)

If you're going full leather.. Air vents add that all-important stitching "for free"... (Oh who am I kidding, I've drank the koolaid)

Does anyone have a picture of the Side of the Dash when the Door is Open (?) with the extended option? The deviated stitching isn't available otherwise on the GT3 correct? Even though you don't see it at all when the door is closed.

Deviated stitching is standard in Platinum Gray, for an added cost in Red.

If you get the $1700+ extended dash option, you get the side of the dash, near the windshield, and around the top of dash vents and the sport chrono clock.

The 3D configurator shows it quite clearly. Very useful.
