Default Belt choice question

Seems it is rare for seat belt options to be at the dealers, at least the 5 in my 30ish mile radius. Here's my build code; locking in about 30 days.

PMEKQ3X0

Really my only last question is the seat belts; these are agave green (to correlate with the aventurine green); other option is chalk, to match the stitching. I"m colorblind, can tell the difference between the two, but just wanted opinions.

thanks,

Chalk is the much safer bet. Certainly possible to change later, but not cheap . . .

Because you have selected 4 components of premium package already it looks to me like you might want to consider that package as you will get surround view, ventilated seats and power folding mirrors for about $800 more...

I'm a big fan of Bordeaux Red seatbelts as a nice contrast to the Aventurine Green exterior and SportsTex interior

I'm a guy who would view colored belts other than chalk as a BIG negative in any used Porsche purchase. Ditto with colored gauges other than white. YMMV.

Can't do the premium package with the sport tex seats unfortunately.

Agreed with you in the past for sure, the green was a different option that jumped out a bit. Only doing the sport chrono gauge white for a contrast and tie in with the chalk stitching too

thanks!

Yep, which those seats don't need it, but yes have the rest of the package minus vent and surround (useful in our cayenne and allroad, but i'm ok saving a bit and using that money toward the 100 bp tune

Yeah, back when I lived in endlessly hot as heck AZ I had alcantara seats in my 04 330 ZHP and loved them!

PS, my order doesn't have premium either as I only wanted Bose, ventilated (cab) and power mirrors (live in city).

Thanks, my build is PMDIPQ23

I went with Guards Red belts to match brakes and offer some contrast...
