Default GTS PTS - CZW, extended dashboard leather - reflections?

Put an order and deposit down yesterday for a GTS with PTS. An October build, which would have been 3 months earlier but for the PTS - so a build which will be a month after the 991.2 announcement and possibly just a month before 991.2 production commences. I’m sure I’ve done the right thing getting NA for my first 911.

My spec includes CZW Extended Interior Package Dashboard Trim in Leather with rhodium stitching but I couldn’t find a car in person that had this in any colour let alone rhodium thread.

Please, to those with this feature, do any of the stitched areas create irritating reflections in the windscreen?

I too have a PTS GTS on order. It is a June build but with 12 weeks added for PTS so arrive in September.. I have driven quite a few GTSs in the last few months with both red and rhodium stitching and have not noticed anything. The black dash is the best for cutting out glare or reflection.

I have CZW with contrasting/deviating stitching. There's no reflection issues.

Niiiice. I'm waiting for Grigio Campovolo - a sort of undercoat light-grey, with the rhodium-stitched alcantara GTS pack. I've gone for a few of the leather extras too. May have too much deviating stitching.

I have yellow stitching and depending on your positioning relative to the sun, there can be a momentary glare. It's very noticeable (my dash is black with yellow stitching) but goes away with minor changes in direction and/or the sun's position in the sky.

Houndstooth, thank you. In your opinion, would you say that it's better to have the stitching and the occasional glare than to have no stitching and no glare?

The glare from vents are a lot more than the stitching, absolutely better to have the CZW.

I bought a 991 C2 Black-on-Black in 2013. I was amazed by the reflection from the dashboard. I had a legally dark tint installed. It made no difference.

I can assure you that, in my biased opinion, there is no such thing as having too much deviating stitching!

OK, CZW has made it to the final.

But now look what you have done Mr Z356, showing me your CTK; flaunting its beauty when I didn't ask for it. Teasing me. I know that you know that was has been seen can never be unseen, and that I shall not sleep easy until CTK is in my basket. And of course, XTG is the perfect partner for CTK - a Laurel & Hardy partnership - stronger together.

So now I have CZW and most likely CTK & XTG too. None of which makes the car handle any better. When will it all end - I need to be able to feed my kids.
