I heard a story where a guy actually got stuck back there because of his cage. I think I would panic! Reminds me of the time Homer got his arm stuck in a vending machine

I have a freeze date in 2 days and I am torn on the last choice; Interior, currently have the standard + silver grey seat belts, but thinking if it will be a mistake to not get the Standard Carrera T standard with slate grey stitching, I know it has been discussed that the slate grey is almost not noticeable, but what if it ends up being good and the 911 on headrests pops up nicely

the harder part is that you lose the silver grey seatbelts and get a darker grey that is almost black ( 2nd picture).,

It's my first one and I don't want to have regrets later for 2-3k$.

Any comments on either choice?

I personally actually think that the lighter "chalk/Silver" seatbelts add more than the slate option... and for $500 vs. $2400, I would just stick with the basic Sport-tex, brighter silver belts and call it a day... I just think the slate T interior does not pop enough to warrant $2400, but that is all based on the config pics as you mentioned... What is your exterior again? Would red belts work with exterior color?

Interesting my freeze point just changed from 2/14 to 2/17, which actually was the initial freeze point as of just over a week ago. No other date changed so far.

I faced the same choice. I originally went with the standard interior in my T build since I had been planning for the prior 18 months to get a Carrera S w/leather interior w/the checkered sport-tex seat centers, and now I have a T allocation (totally happy w/T or S) which has those same sport-tex seat centers standard. So no need to pay more in this case... until I decided I like the slight variation of the sport-tex fabric the "standard T interior" pkg brings. It's unique to the T, plus while I'd prefer greater contrast, in my opinion subtle contrast stitching is better than none. And, like you, I don't want to regret not spending a measly $2400 or so more. I suggest going for the standard T interior pkg if you're waffling on it - there's a greater chance of regret if you pass on it vs if you take it. I do think the gray stitching will show better in person.

Are you guys doing European Delivery? In this case it's not about whose car is built last but about who actually takes delivery last. And, yea, this is a "contest" that no one wants to "win"!

Having seen the LA show car in person, which was python green over leather T interior with slate stitching, I can say confidently that there is almost no contrast between the stitching and the leather. Maybe if the car is outside, under direct sunlight, the distinction is noticeable. But if you’re not looking for it, you won’t notice the contrast.

I had the same dilemma but in the end I opted for gt silver seatbelts and trim to break the dark interior. I also prefer the standard sport tex than the T interior, the surface of the latter is more grippy and less comfortable IMHO.

Interesting, because this is exactly what my dealer is asking me to do. I don't know if I would want to sour my relationship with them though by going through a legal process or even threatening to do so. 'No more Porsches for you!!!'

Saw this while googling 'yellow 992'. Whoever is getting one needs to buy these

How is the standard sport-tex "more grippy" than the T interior sport-tex considering it's the same fabric just with some subtle gray or green stitching in it, and considering none of us have driven a 992 T yet?

Did you sit in the car? Did you see it under more than one lighting condition? While I agree it's nowhere near as much contrast as I'd like (and it's been debated ad nauseam as to why Porsche would even offer such a dark "contrast" stitching color), it's not going to be invisible.
