Default Deviated stitching to complement Forest Green…?
Dear all,

looking for some friendly advice and perspective: I’ve a PTS Forest Green touring locking soon (build is in early December). It’s pretty blacked out (rims, window trim, calipers, matrix headlights, etc…) and I’ve specced full black interior (not bicolor) with LWB. I’m on the fence as to what deviated leather stitching to go for (if any). Thoughts appreciated!

thanks!
JB

I'd go with one of the two standard options that come with the full leather package. I think either would look nice/understated. I'm not a fan of the colorful stitching.

Thanks!!

Sooo… she was even leaning towards making a statement and go with lizard green 🥴. I’m willing to debate it, but it’s so hard to visualize. And I don’t want to have an “oh, ok…” reaction when I first open the door a few months from now 😂

Just FYI.. I have mamba green stitching snd it is a perfect match to my python green. It would be too bright to go with forest.

Most worry about stitching color is highly overrated imo. You won't notice after a few months. Black is fine.

What color are the calipers? If PCCB - then id probably go yellow for a more cohesive look.

If the calipers are black- go with green. The green stitch and green paint doesnt need to match exactly- it will be close enough. Green on green would look hot!

Calipers are black… was hoping for a darker green but only options are lizard and mamba… both which could clash because they’re so bright (although the lizard has a yellow hue to it, as does Forest Green when lit up…). So many choices! 🙈

It wont clash. the colors are not next to each other. Id go with the closest green you can find and not worry about it. It wont be an exact match and that is ok.
