Why isn't yellow stitching available on the gt3.. Seems like such a no-brainer and would solve so many issues.. Yellow cars with yellow belts and yellow brakes and yellow gauges... But no yellow stitching. Dumb.

Can't get yellow gauges and the calipers are a different yellow than the body too. That's Porsche.

Waiting for mine RY as well. January 2015 delivery. Planned on yellow when I put my deposit down in July 2013. Added bonus, it's my wife's favorite color for the car as well.

As an aside, maybe it's my imagination, but it seems like there is more color variety in the current builds; RY, GR, GT and Rhodium silver, SB, Black, etc and not as many whites. Maybe a reaction to the large number of white cars already out there, or the fact that people feel less risk in picking a different color now that they've had a chance to see some of them.
My dealership were all white except my order. I want to say it's 7 white, 1 Agate. Might be 5 but still, all white.

Which direction are people settling in on wheels/lights?

I've ended up with LED + Standard Wheels at the moment as I think they both tie together well.

I'm not a big fan of the black, but silver is a consideration.

My leased C4S came w/ black headlights and black wheels. I have come to like the combination a lot so I specified both for the GT3.

I did standard wheels and LEDs. I think the standard wheels show off the design better than the black. I also like the look of the LEDs better with their DRL.

The only reason, in my opinion to get the LEDs, are the DRLs - they look pretty darn cool. Other than that they are an expensive option. I got them but make sure you put Xpel over them to protect because they are $4800 to replace.

I got the LED and standard wheel as well. I think the DRL looks special and the standard wheel shows off the design well. I also have the PCCB to match. But i guess i am probably alone here in getting the red stitching/red seat belts. I thought the white stitching will look boring.

You're not the only one. I did red stitching/belts as well. PCCB, buckets, and carbon trim too. I saw a SLS Black Series in yellow with black interior/red stitching and carbon and liked the combo. I think the GT3 will look even better. Glad to hear I'm not the only one, although I'm sure the won't many of us.

I went with silver stitching, have red stitching in another pcar so wanted to do something different, otherwise I agree that it looks a little better.

So yellow belts, silver stitching, carbon trim/door sills, buckets and PCCB for me.

Cool, we've got great taste Right now I'm scheduled to be picking mine up the first week in January from Porsche of Plano. Can't wait to see it in person. So far the only GT3s I've seen at the dealer have been white.
