looks superb, cant wait for my mexico blue gt3...

i did red brakes but back and forth on matching seatbelt.... not sure red and mexico looks as good as yellow .


i just wish the trim would go back to "volcano grey" like on 997's.... never been a fan of the bright gleaming reflective chrome silver trim... volcano grey also matched the seatbacks perfectly

Allan,

Congrats on the new GT3 !
I saw softarga's Riviera at Hennessy on Tuesday...need to get pics together !

Really interested in your POV on this car, I am waiting for Scott to find a '15 allocation for me.

Best,

Bill

I have the leather steering wheel and I think I am going to do the red tape. I want to see how it looks. Car is white with red seat belts and stitching

I would like to do in red also. Also have a leather wheel. I wonder if a trim shop could actually do it in a leather strip add on.

Thanks


edit just saw that its Mexico. So Riviera is a little darker?
Mexico is a bit darker than Riviera

A good quality cotton "seam" tape might be good. I'm going to check out a local store. Allan

Choose the "anthracite" trim option. It is darker (more grey) than the stock brushed steel which is brighter...

Instead of tape is there a way to dye the leather?

Allan. Congrats on the car. It looks great in Mexico Blue. I was intending to order the same but it wasnt to be. The yellow works very well with the blue. I wouldnt never have thought that!

For the steering wheel the factory have already made the place for you to attach the tape :-)
