Add contrasting stitching to the leather steering column.

That would look odd as no other deviated stitching is in the build. Doing it would add $3500 plus all the other pieces (seat backs add a few hundred, steering column also adds $140 etc.).

So worth it. The deviated stitching options can really make an incredible visual impact on your interior and add that extra special "it" factor. But yes if you go with deviated stitching do everything.

Thanks to all for the help and opinions. I'm thinking about the recommendations for white gauges and/or deviated stitching to brighten up the interior.

White gauges: good addition? Bad addition? Easy to read?

Deviated stitching: if so which color?

I'll probably stick with the black belts. I had Speed Yellow belts in a DD 986 S long ago and they eventually became stained, which drove me crazy.

Try Pebble Gray. It's almost white and will contrast super against the espresso and match the white instruments nicely. View in 360

I thought that deviate stitching was standard with natural leather? Maybe with non natural leather only?
