Corduroy is as vintage appropriate as houndstooth and more sporty. Frankly the 911R interior is a bit garish for me. 50th is slightly better and I do agree it has the best wheels on any 991. The 1 million has the best interior with houndstooth. I am reserving judgment until I see it, but the only thing I would replace the fabric of the touring with is leather. And I wish they offered natural leather in black, a deep red, and a nice green or at least espresso. Some other cool stuff would be a Silverknit carpet and of course wood trim.

yeah I asked for green dials like on 911R and 50th on first consult visit back in April and was also told NO. The reason is logical.... Porsche doesn’t have them for GT3. the ones on 911R are different due to different logos and redline and same is true of 911-50. Point being, it would have to be custom designed and manufactured; there is no part on a shelf somewhere of retro style green numeral dials for a 991 GT3.

Some of you probably know this already, others following not, but there is another level of customization available that Porsche Exclusive calls “project car” that would grant very special requests like this. I was told this by Yana on a number of occasions when I would ask for things not in the menu for CXX, such as embroidery stitching on the headrests with the “touring” script logo instead of “GT3”. Thing is, these have to put in the request to do a project car, which may or may not be approved, or will take a lot longer, and if you have to ask how much it costs, it’s not for you.

i got a carbon fiber CCX shift **** $1,060

I appreciate Porsche made the inserts available alone for a lower price ($3555) and can’t argue with your logic. However, as I looked at pics of the LWBs without only the black/silver houndstooth inserts and nothing else different (stitching in platinum, interior in black), it just still looked a little dull...



As I looked at more and more pics of seats with nice customizations, I realized what I really liked was the contrast piping in the seats in place of stitching, which really sets them off, so I decided to do something like this with Hoondstooth centers.










by the way, here is the interior of a ‘74 RS 2.7 Touring with the corduroy style seat centers that the GT3 Touring Package cloth seats are clearly supposed to pay homage to....

like the cuordroy too, but i'm a sucker for houndstooth. As for piping, it's totally worth it. In Canada though, the seats are $9600 (includes crest, insert, leather and stitching customization), but piping is extra. If you're getting piping in your price in the US, i'd totally do the piping, and skip the leather and feel like its not a waste!

@blueshorseshoe - i don't get why they insist on that silver cap. it may be worth looking at just getting the **** and using some plastidip or a bit of vinyl (something that lets you go back to stock easily and not expensive to do). Hopefully, they'll allow the R style one if people keep requesting it.

In USA, piping is included in the $8875 USD price for the custom tailored seats. Guess that helps explain why the Canadian price is so close to the USD price despite the exchange rate.
