Default Back of the seat painted option

Hey guys I can't find this option on the GT3, is it available ? I used to have it on my 996 back in the days I would like to do it on the 991 GT3. I have leather on the Turbo S but think painted would suit more of the profile of the GT3.

Also how can I switch red stitching to yellow stitching?

Thx

Sorry--don't think either option is available at this time.

Back of the seat in leather, will pricey, looks good. The one aesthetic option I regret I didn't order. As Tim said, painted seat backs and yellow stitching not offered. You can always do after market yellow stitching. I had it done on the TTS's 4 seats for a grand. If you find the right person, it will look like OEM-ish.

I think the painted back of the seats only ideal for the convertible but not the coupe.

Leather backed seats awesome but pricey. Did not make it on this build

I might have done leather backed seats if I wasn't thinking about getting the CF backed sport buckets when they become available....

You can get black vinyl applied to the back of the seats. I was thinking of going that route but I saw a GT3 with the leather ordered for the back. Looked gorgeous so I did order that option plus my car will be all black.

I asked the guy from the PC here and he told me that paint on the seat backs will not be done by their team.
the only possibility according to him is to put a film on it or to see another painter...

I am worry about the film option as it will crack very soon because of the heat...
Anyway, I more and more appreciating the silver look... and it is matching with the aluminum finish

Vinyl wrap should tolerate excessive heat well.
