Leather Interior option - the seat cushion and the back rest have the same Sport Tex material, as the standard package. Add the T packages and again, only the pinstripes and the stitching color changes.

Without getting the cleverly priced "deviated stitching" Package, the stitching color on the steering wheel and around the gear lever will stay a neutral "black/dark grey" one, no matter what you choose for the interior.
And of course, the stitching color will not show up in configurator, after specifying it. Would have been too easy.

I can totally relate to this. Having owned a plethora of silver and grey BMWs I personally have become extremely tried of silver. Unfortunately I still own one.

Agreed.

I have seen several East coast individuals on Instagram that shipped their Porsches out to CA for Rennsport 7. I would be game to do it for Rennsport 8.

Great, appreciate the explanation. Leather it is then.

Improvement proposal - add a second picture "strip", where everyone could add what they will bring with them, besides the car: arm candy, rug candy, leash candy or just good ol' blow up candy. I think hire candy could work too.

Hello fellow Austinite! I did PTS Gulf Blue for my wife's MY2023 Macan. I was a little bit lucky, as I placed the order in June 2022, right when the orders for MY2023 opened. By mid-July, PTS was closed for MY2023. I suspect the same thing happened this year or even sooner. Paint-to-Sample can only handle 20 cars per day -- for the entire world's demand across all models!

Personally GT silver and Lizard is great duo or with lighter colours, also, but not shark in my opinion. For what it's worth I would definitely stick with yellow.
Good luck.

@Wilder I think you need to put "I made these wheels custom" and include the specs in your sig, given the number of questions you get on these...

Yes it’s always about contrast. Never try to match colors. A blue car with blue leather or red car with red leather never really works for that exact reason. Unfortunately a lot of salesman don’t seem to understand this. There are many brands with special colors that think they need to match the interior with the exterior. Usually with blue and green shades. Probably the only exception is black on black. But most people still would favor some sort of contrast.

Don’t like how he secured the rear tires as I see it now (!) but guess it’s too late …

There are plates from all over. Many from my old hometown in BC, including a 918.

Custom designed and made. Please send me a DM and I'll give you more details over the next few days.

@Macboy I agree that is not good, go round the whole tire not be attached to the spokes.
My local dealer annually collects my Ferrari for service in a closed load truck and I always check the loading, he never ties straps to the spokes of the wheel.
My opinion, hopefully it's short run to the tyre dealer?
Oh for the days of a proper spare wheel !!!
Good luck, but at least as you say the tires were shot anyway, you got a good mileage out of them.
Best Devon Racer.
