With Sapphire Blue, should I black out the LED lights? and should I go for folding mirrors? These are the only 2 options left that I'm finding hard to decide.

Many thanks.

This is the build I came up with for you:

Have fun with the car!!

Personally, I like the power folding mirrors. Mine are set to fold automatically when I lock the car.

Are the folding mirrors available with Aero-design mirrors? I think it is more important to have the aero-design look vs the folding feature.

On the Black LED headlights - I like that.

I have some suggestions which I think will add a lot of style:
1) Porsche crest on headrests and armrest
2) Get the white deviated stitching on the leather interior. It really brings out the quality of the leather work which gets lost with black stitching.
3) Add steering column in leather with white stitching
4) Get the instrument dials and the sport chrono clock in white
5) Go for brushed aluminum interior package (which will add some contrast and visual appeal to the interior) with gear selector in brushed aluminum and aluminum pedals
6) Seatbelts in silver-grey (will coordinate nicely with brushed aluminum trim)
6) Add sun visor in Alcantara


Unless you plan to lower the car or you have a super-steep driveway - you can probably skip the front axle lift system. The turbo never scrapes the ground with the spoilers retracted.

Here's a picture of the deviated stitching.

Unfortunately, you can't have power folding mirrors in the Sport Design configuration.

The power folding mirrors have courtesy lights on the bottom, which is nice. Mine have the lower portion painted, which makes them look nice.

I think sapphire blue looks good with plain silver lights. I'd go for sport design mirrors instead but they don't fold. I don't miss that but it's handy if you park in very tight spaces.

That white stitch is nice. Given this poster is getting a sapphire blue so you think it will still flow like your white car? I believe so as it looks almost silver. I agree with all your suggestions. On mirrors I like sports design but I never encounter parking space issues in the US. In Asia folding mirrors are a total necessity due to tiny parking spaces and some guy with his luxury van or luxury sedan on the line of your already small space and leather door sills (which I get on all US cars) are a non starter the way we have to squeeze out of cars we practically stand on the sills.

The stitching in that photo was actually not white but Pebble Grey. In the current Porsche color lineup you would order black with chalk stitching. Chalk is a very light silver-gray

I would do yellow contrast stitching....

Is there a line item in the configurator for contrast stitching, or is that a special order item? What is the price typically?

strange, Porsche Canada site don't have deviated stitching for the seats...

SilveRT8

When I ordered mine, it was in a special section on the Dealer's site only, with seat inlays.

Roughly $3000 to do the entire car.
