Default Red deviating stitching

Has anyone done red deviating stitching in their 991? I could have sworn that a while back someone posted pics of red stitching in their car but I've searched and can't find them. I'm finalizing my order for a 991 GT3 and am considering red stitching (the only color available on that car) so thought it would be useful to get a look at how it comes off in the 991 interior. Thanks.

Thanks. Ideally it would be great to see the red stitching in a black interior as that's the only color available on the GT3. Also, unlike the 991 Carrera you can't choose specific items as it only comes in a package which does the dash, doors, seats, and steering wheel. Porsche protecting you from overdoing it I guess....

User DBYT posted pics of his Luxor Beige with red. He shared some of his pics with Porsche Exclusive since he was the first to do it and they needed pics for future potential customers, so Melissa sent these pics to my salesman and he to me. I've done full dashboard, full doors, sets, steering wheel but these are pics of DBYT's car as mine is just about to be built.

Looks nice! NEver would have thought red would go well with the luxor (as opposed to black) but it's refreshing and nice.

I'd seen pics of red stitching in an older 911 where IIRC it really stood out (thicker thread or just a bad memory?) but in any event this appears quite subtle...I like it. Thanks for posting.

The deviated red on black looks amazing! Definitely doing that on next car order.

You apparently haven't shopped Ferraris much because this is very common in F-cars.

I have the red stitching and love it... I think it would look great with the alcantara finish of the GT3.
