I know its not a GT3 and it's not the same yellow, but it gives an idea of what red stitching/belts look like on a yellow car.

This. Hated the Blue with Red. So I did Sapphire Blue with normal belts, plat stich, and yellow calipers.

I wish I could have ordered the black belts with the red stripes on the end like the ones on the Cayman GTS. I think those would have looked good with the red stitching.

I believe they are an available option for the 991 GTS and you will be able to retrofit them to your car. Call Suncoast parts. By the way didn't you also initially request PTS birch green/lichtgrun? I had also requested that and I'm still po'd that they turned it down. I went w/ yellow also. Guess it's okay, but really not as wild as the green would have been.

Good thinking on Suncoast, I'm sure they'll get them. I did request lichtgrun. Good memory. It got rejected about a week after the order got submitted to Porsche. I was bummed but I racing yellow is gonna look great. It was my original choice before I tried to go PTS. Consolation prize, I am getting the LW buckets. Car goes into production in about two weeks!

Don't do the red stitching and yellow belts, that combo does not work well together. Too much of a circus, like mustard and ketchup. As suggested if the yellow calipers don't work for you with the red interior accents paint the calipers red.

I went an unusual route as well. Racing yellow with PCCB, but interior wise all red, red sticking with extended leather dash and door panel and red seat belts. Hope it will turn out well.

With the SB, did you think about yellow belts to match the PCCB's?

I think the standard interior (Platinum stitching) does need brightening up, so IMO there are the following options:

(I'm not a fan of the coloured dials so that wouldn't be one of my choices)

With PCCBs:
- Yellow belts to match the calipers plus platinum stitching. (This is what I have on my car with carbon trim, and it looks great!!)
- Red belts and red stitching I.e. match the interior and separate the interior and the calipers.

With steel brakes and red calipers I think there are more choices:
- red belts and red stitching
- red belts and platinum stitching
- standard belts and red stitching

I agree about not mixing yellow belts with red stitching or red belts / stitching with yellow dials etc. Of course exterior colour might also impact what looks good...!

You probably could fit them aftermarket? I guess dealer can order the GTS ones and then fit them, it's a simple job. I might go along that route. I didn't want full red belts, as have red stitching and carbon, clubsport and blue exterior with red calipers. Sill undecided if to fit harnesses. If I do them I'll leave the black belts. If I don't then might fit them.

Also.. Why not just have the calipers repainted. Whatever colour. Body colour. Red. Black. Silver. Whatever.

I would not mix yellow and red for the interior. I saw a 997.2 GT3RS with yellow stitching and the red door pulls - not a good look!

I wish they would deliver more of these. Then there would be threads on tires, brakes, etc. Not this deviated stitching & leather option stuff. Sounds like a bunch of girls discussing their prom dress!

Lol…. sorry. First car I've ever built from the start. I usually buy a year or two used and let the other guy take the hit! Hoping this car holds value longer than not.

I now have the car, and have decided not to paint the calipers, you never really see the calipers and the stitching together.
Be aware that as you drive by the public will see the yellow calipers and red seat belt. To some, this may matter, to others, who cares?
