How hard is it for them to get the right color thread? Jeez, it's too bad. Acid green in my opinion would work with the stitching everywhere but for the logo's on the seat and in the back. That would highlight the difference too much. But of all your choices including standard, I don't think anything else will look that great in comparison.

Do both - go all the way on such a wild car.
Leh keen has green stitching in his frog and it looks great; I usually don't care for deviated stitching but it works on such a crazy color IMO

If I were to get a RS, I'd go with the acid green. After spending as much as I did for wrap, tint and clearplex, $9k for the paint is about right. Decals and stitching too. When people are spending $100k over MSRP, getting the car just the way you want for a little more money puts things in perspective.

Decals yes. (Sidebar - I heard that 7. And 7.2 graphics were both options - true?)
Love deviated stitching and would do it, but not acid green. Doesn't go with a Frog.

GT silver, aka gray
7.1 and 7.2 comes with decal, the option is to delete it but get no money back
on 7.2RS i deleted all my decals from factory
on 991RS i chose delete model designation, thus i opt for no decal; for variety of reasons
deviating stitching on green is tricky b/c it looks like mismatch to me. also, what color will your door pull and seat belt be? too many colors become distracting not deviating.
i been thinking of the samething for my RS as well. and for the moment i am NO on both

Apparently so. Maybe ask these guys for details.

^ ok, now i understand your Q
i was told by porsche exclusive there are THREE decals (that's what i was told, doesn't mean it's right)
1. martini decal
2. 7.1RS type of decal
3. 997GT2RS decal (small GT3RS at the lower forward corner of door)
the prices for each option are not the same.

BTW, for me, I'd definitely do the decals and the acid green stitching assuming it looks good from pix. So hopefully someone can post pix of the acid green stitching to be sure!

Decals are a must if you've got the opportunity, especially with green. They just look right. As for the stitching, any shade of yellow or green that is not the same as your exterior color will look off, regardless if you are matching to caliper...which let's be honest is reaching anyways. Black seems to make the most sense with your build.
An RS should look wild outside and functional inside.

that acid green looks great, but just not sure it will look right with a signal green exterior.
leaning toward subtle deviated stitching if any, agree with business look inside but crazy look outside.
if the green stitching could be a better match, might do it. still worried yellow will look too SPRITE on this car.
def going with the decals, and I think .1 997RS will look better than .2 997RS

I vote for no stickers. Color makes it totally special as is.
