Cool build.

How do clear tail lights "balance" white gauges?

Just my vision

Gray car
Black inside with yellow stitching which matches yellow brakes

I have white gauges and with clear white taillights that aren't red it seems balanced

Just my vision for balance!

I hope it works and screams custom car!

I notice that you used deviated stitching only on the wheel. You are prob way more attuned to this than I am but i had not been aware, until my dealer told me about it, that there are a slew of added stitching options from the "exclusive" dept. that do not show up as options in the online builder (I think the wheel is the only one that is listed online). Not suggesting that you should or shouldn't do any of them, but since your build just went in, if you wanted to add any you prob still could. Just wanted to make sure you were aware of something I had not been.

Looks like a great build!

Thanks and you are correct and yes I did take that approach
I wanted to add careful deviated stitching inside
But wanted to avoid the bumble bee look

I did deviated yellow stitching here:
Steering wheel
Top of dashboard
Top of both doors
Front and back of front seats
Back seats

No where else as that would be too much!

I put know yellow stitching on the center or the doors like arm rest etc to avoid overload.

I really thought alot about the stitching and with the white gauges, think i did it well..

Thanks

New change before order locked:


Will go with platinum gray stitching and now gray seat belts. Just realized yellow stitching was not for me as the car is agate gray, not yellow exterior. So going with black interior and now gray stitching.
