Interesting how much Night Blue looks like Gentian in that lighting. Disappointing IMO - I thought Night was much deeper.

Night blue is pretty nice in person esp in direct sunlight.

Love the color ... if it were my car though I would go with a darker interior leather. Medium to dark gray. Something to match the Porsche decal on the side. Keep the carbon exterior bits and add carbon to the interior.

Absolutely beautiful spec! Also very nice with the side decals!

Local motion I suggest Cohiba or Natural Brown leather coupled with the tartan inserts. Look awesome with yacht blue

Hi tstafford, We have outfitted several 992 GT3s, and we are comfortable offering our product to anyone who does not mind swapping out the cover on the bottom passenger cushion, which is simply Velcro’d on the underside of the cushion. The other 3 sections come with replacement foam and covers for easy installation (same as our 991 LWB inserts). As another Rennlister pointed out, the process to swap out the cover is not overly complicated, but it takes a little patience since the air bag pressure sensor cable keeps the bottom cushion tethered to the seat frame.

The installs that we have done, and those that our customers have performed, did not create any fault codes, and the air bag sensor operated as designed after the installation. Please note the sensor is not disconnected during installation (except in European LWBs).

Please feel free to call me or send an email if you have any questions kimp1designs@gmail.com Attached are some customer photos from their 992 installation (with and without memory foam option).

I have a yachting blue 992 GT3 and really love the color, so I'm a bit biased as well. 'Not bad for a panamera color' is what I tell people who ask. I also had some renders made which really sold me on it, plus going through the swatches at PECLA a while ago.
I optioned the CF roof, which I think blends in nicely and works on a winged car. I think if I was going for a touring though I'd delete the CF roof and mirror tops to get more body color, so +1 on that suggestion. I also did the clear rear light which works well, and silver wheels.

Probably the best part of yachting blue is how it compliments the front black matte plastics very well, like this section right here in the front:

Definitely agree with this assessment regarding the black plastics. Yachting has this sort of ashy undertone to it that goes with the black plastics beautifully, and also ties in with the CF mirrors/roof if you select those options.

I have a white leather couch at home. It is a pain to keep clean. One of the beauties of dark leather is it does not show much, if any, dirt. I agree with the others, I would opt for a darker leather, even if it is a light brown. Otherwise, you (or your detailer) will be spending a lot of time cleaning the leather. It will be like your laundry basket, the endless cycle.

Beautiful color. I agree in dropping the carbon roof and mirrors, the more Yachting blue, the better

Can't be done for PTS without CXX. Same with seatbacks.

Awesome to hear. Can you change the centers on the 18-ways to the OEM blue tartan look?
