Default Illuminated carbon fiber sills & rhodium stitching

It was hard for me to find pics when searching during my build. Sight unseen for me, and I really like in vivo. My contribution here for those considering:

Nice! I'm getting the illuminated carbon sills and platinum grey stitching in my GT3. I don't think rhodium stitching was an option, is that a custom color or is it just available on certain models?

There are 2 deviated stitching options w GTS interior pkg-carmine red & rhodium. Seems that vast majority are ordered w carmine. I think your platinum grey and rhodium stitching should be very similar. Enjoy!

Yes, I've mostly seen the red stitching. I have it on my 991.2 GTS, and also had it on my 991.1 GT3. Love the color but thought I'd try something different for the GT3, also think it'll match better with the chalk exterior.

I love all of the stitching in the above pics, but the reason why I am writing in this conversation is that seeing your stitched wheel cover reminds me of the perforated brown leather one I stitched on to me first car. I was so proud and it really looked great.

I have the illuminated carbon fiber sills in my GTS. I applied PPF on them to prevent shoe scuffs.

I remember those! My parents had one on their 1971 Buick station wagon!

It’s such a useless option but I had it on my previous 991S (original owner had ordered it that way). It’s a great piece of eye candy and the first thing I see every time I open the door...so I had to have it on my new one. Waste of money but it makes me happy...
